Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) out for Game 5 on Wednesday
Chris Haynes on Twitter
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (right hip flexor strain) is out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Already playing without Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier, the last thing Miami needed was another injury. Jaquez injured his hip during Monday's Game 4 defeat, limiting the rookie to 22 minutes. He will not play in what could be the Heat's final game of the season, with Jaquez's absence freeing up a spot in the starting lineup. Delon Wright, Haywood Highsmith, and Duncan Robinson (who's dealing with left facet syndrome) are all available to absorb the minutes that would usually go to Jaquez.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. injures hip in Game 4 loss
Barry Jackson on X
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (right hip) contributed nine points (4-of-10 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 22 minutes against Boston on Monday.
Analysis: Jaquez said that he “felt something give” while going up for a rebound. Erik Spoelstra said that they will find out more on Tuesday, so hopefully there will be a clearer indication of his status for Game 5 on Wednesday. Miami has been playing without Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier, so losing Jaquez Jr. would likely mean more minutes for Delon Wright and Haywood Highsmith. #HeatCulture isn't going down without a fight, but if they're down another starter, it will be difficult for them to extend the series in Boston.
