The Miami Heat is suddenly as healthy as it has been all season.
On a new episode of the Miami Herald’s Heat Check podcast, Anthony Chiang and David Wilson broke down what the roster’s improved health could mean for the Heat as the Feb. 9 NBA trade deadline approaches and why this upcoming stretch is so important. The Heat is off to a good start, earning its most lopsided win of the season on Wednesday night in New Orleans.
Chiang and Wilson also offered their takes on why Kyle Lowry still deserves to be the Heat’s starting point guard and where Gabe Vincent fits into the rotation off the bench. Also, more Victor Oladipo talk as he continues to impress in a sixth man role.
