Heat injury report for game vs. Wizards includes three starters. Here’s the latest update

The good for the Miami Heat is it might get one starter back on Friday. The bad news for the Heat is a starter has been added to the injury report while another starter remains out.

Heat starting center Bam Adebayo is listed as questionable for Friday’s matchup against the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena (7 p.m., Bally Sports Sun) after missing his first game of the season in Wednesday’s 112-104 road loss to the Toronto Raptors because of a left knee contusion.

But Heat starting forward Caleb Martin, who has missed just one game this season because of a league-issued suspension, was added to the injury report Thursday. Martin is questionable for Friday’s game because of right knee tendinosis.

And Heat starting guard Tyler Herro has already been ruled out for Friday’s game because of a sprained left ankle. It will mark the sixth game in a row that Herro has missed because of the injury.

The Heat also remains without forward Udonis Haslem (personal reasons), guard Victor Oladipo (left knee tendinosis) and center Omer Yurtseven (left ankle surgery). Oladipo and Yurtseven have yet to play this season, with Oladipo ruled out at least through the end of Miami’s current four-game trip and Yurtseven expected to miss the next three months after undergoing ankle surgery this week.

With Adebayo out for Wednesday’s game in Toronto, the Heat started rookie Nikola Jovic at center in his place. Jovic, 19, finished his first NBA start with 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field and 1-of-3 shooting on threes, three rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes.

After a strong start that included 11 points in 4-of-5 shooting from the field in the first quarter, Jovic scored just two points during the final three quarters Wednesday.

“I was encouraged by his play,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said of Jovic. “That’s not easy to do that. We felt putting him with the starters would give him the best chance to be able to complement that group. He was terrific, particularly in that first half.”

With an injury-depleted roster, Spoelstra also extended the rotation to nine players by adding undrafted rookie Jamal Cain to the bench rotation for Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors. Cain, who is one of the Heat’s two-way contract players, finished scoreless and grabbed one rebound in his six minutes of action.

Prior to Wednesday’s appearance, Cain had logged just two minutes of playing time in one game with the Heat this season. Cain, who has been made active by the Heat for six games, is allowed to be on Miami’s active list for as many as 50 regular-season games as part of his two-way contract.

“Just to get guys a few extra minutes in the first half just so we were fresh for that second half,” Spoelstra said of his decision to extend the rotation and play Cain against the Raptors. “We’ll continue to do that on this trip as much as possible. These are extenuating circumstances, for sure. We have a lot of guys out, so we’re going to play guys big minutes. That’s where we are now and we’ll get healthy bodies back soon.”

NOT HAPPY TO TRAVEL

The Heat was called for seven traveling violations during Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors.

That’s an unusually high number. Just how high?

The Heat averaged 0.6 traveling violations per game last season and entered Wednesday averaging 1.1 traveling violations per game this season before being called for seven travels against the Raptors.

“The travels, I don’t know,” Spoelstra said. “Any given night, you can call some of those. But not six or seven of them. But that’s neither here nor there. They still would have sped us up into 15 or 16 turnovers that got them out into the open court. They got some easy ones form that.

It should be noted that the Raptors were called for four traveling violations of their own on Wednesday.

“I guess it’s a point of emphasis and it’s been a point of emphasis,” Heat guard Kyle Lowry said, “and I guess that’s what they’re looking at during the beginning of the season. But there were a lot of them called. So we’ve got to figure out how to get the pivot foot solid.”
