Heat sidelined him from a foot injury at least four games and will be reevaluated in one week

Before their next game, the Miami Heat will have a respite as they look to win back-to-back games for the first time since the season’s first week.

The Dallas Mavericks confirmed Thursday that star Luka Doncic will miss the upcoming week due to a sprain to his right wrist, therefore putting him out of Sunday’s game in Miami.

Luka Doncic has been ruled out for Sunday’s game in Miami.

After a decisive victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, the Heat had five days off in between games. They therefore had a significant rest advantage going into Sunday’s match. On Friday night, the Mavericks will visit Denver.

The Mavericks said on Thursday that Doncic will be out for at least four games and will be evaluated again in a week, despite the fact that he played through the injury in Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Terry Rozier, a guard who missed Monday’s victory due to a foot ailment, should return for the Heat. After Miami’s redesigned starting lineup outscored Philadelphia by 12, Rozier might be moved back to the bench. While he heals from a sprained right foot, Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s condition is still unknown.
