PHILADELPHIA — The Miami Heat again find themselves dealing with a shorthanded rotation as they prepare to open a three-game trip Saturday night against the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center.
Forward Andrew Wiggins, who only recently returned from ankle and leg injuries, remained behind Friday when the team flew to Philadelphia because of a hamstring issue.
Also not traveling was forward Duncan Robinson, who has missed the past two games due to back pain.
The team said both could possibly re-join the team later on the trip, which continues with a Monday night game against the Washington Wizards and a Wednesday night game against the Boston Celtics.
The Heat also remain without backup veteran center Kevin Love due to personal reasons.
Veteran forward Alec Burks, who has started in place of Robinson, is listed as questionable due to lower-back pain.
The Heat continue to remain without forward Nikola Jovic as he recovers from a broken hand, and guard Dru Smith, who is out for the season after Achilles surgery. Jovic recently resumed court work, but did not travel.
Remaining in the G League and away from the Heat are Josh Christopher, Keisha Johnson and Isaiah Stephens.
The Heat have nine games remaining in their regular season.
