The Miami Heat are set to begin a back-to-back series on Tuesday night against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Currently, the Heat hold a 1-1 record in the NBA preseason, having secured a narrow two-point win over the New Orleans Pelicans, while the Spurs are riding a two-game winning streak against the Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz. Despite sitting out against the Jazz, Wembanyama is anticipated to play against the Heat, as reported by Dusty Garza.
Here’s the complete injury report for the Heat vs. Spurs matchup:

The Heat’s starting lineup has another chance to enhance their chemistry, a development coach Erik Spoelstra welcomes. Terry Rozier, Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic, and Bam Adebayo are expected to start. “The group showed great promise, reminiscent of how they performed in training camp in the Bahamas. They approached it with the right mindset,” Spoelstra remarked after their last preseason game. “They put in the effort and are focusing on our system and each other’s strengths.”
