The Miami Heat will be short-handed once again on Wednesday when they host the Washington Wizards.
The Heat ruled out forwards Jimmy Butler (knee) and Duncan Robinson (ankle) as well as guards Max Strus (right shoulder impingement) and Victor Oladipo (knee) for Wednesday’s contest.
Guards Tyler Herro (ankle) and Gabe Vincent (knee) are both listed as questionable for Miami, which has lost four in a row — including a 107-106 overtime decision in Washington on Friday.
Butler is averaging a team-leading 20.9 points, Herro has contributed 19.6 and Strus has chipped in 15.3 per game this season.
