The Heat took a big step toward getting fully healthy last week.
Although a couple players, including All-Star Jimmy Butler, are dealing with minor injuries, the two Miami players who had long-term injuries both returned to the floor. Guard Victor Oladipo, who had not played since April 8, 2021, came back on March 7. Forward Markieff Morris, who had been out since Nov. 8, returned on Saturday.
“At the end of the day, we’ve both been through a lot,” Oladipo said. “We were given this opportunity, this chance, to be back in the swing of things and back with this team. So we both are looking forward to making the most of it and doing our part and helping the team be successful.”
