Injury report

Miami Heat

  • Pelle LarssonOut· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    Larsson (illness) is out for Friday's game against Cleveland. Larsson is sidelined for the first half of this back-to-back set with an illness. The expectation is that Andrew Wiggins will move back into the starting lineup after beginning the campaign as a member of the first unit.

  • Klay ThompsonOut· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    Thompson (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The Heat sent mixed signals regarding the status of Thompson, first listing him as probable and later questionable before ruling him out altogether. With Andrew Wiggins already in line to fill in for Pelle Larsson (illness) on Friday, rookie second-rounder Ryan Conwell could be preparing for his first career start.

Cleveland Cavaliers

  • Evan MobleyOut· back Nov 14Report updated ·
    Report note

    Mobley (toe) is out for Friday's game against the Heat. The star big man took a hard fall late in Wednesday's win over the Knicks, and he's missing his first contest of the season Friday with a sprained toe. With Mobley sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Meleek Thomas and Mario Hezonja are each viable streaming options.

  • Sam MerrillOut· back Nov 16Report updated ·
    Report note

    Merrill (elbow) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. Merrill has battled a lingering elbow issue since the preseason. He will now miss a third consecutive contest, with his next opportunity to suit up coming Friday in Miami. While Merrill is sidelined, Craig Porter, Meleek Thomas and Tyrese Proctor should see more minutes.

  • Nae'Qwan TomlinOut· back Nov 16Report updated ·
    Report note

    Tomlin is set to miss several weeks with a lower back stress reaction, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. This is a tough blow for the forward and there's no guarantee he's cleared right away when he's re-evaluated in three-to-four weeks. Tomlin wasn't projected to crack the rotation ahead of Opening Night and was penciled in to be an emergency depth option.
