Get the Latest Miami Heat News and Rumors
The Miami Heat's championship chances have suffered a major setback with the news that starting guard Victor Oladipo will miss at least another week due to an ankle injury. Oladipo has been a key contributor for the Heat this season, averaging 12.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game.
In Oladipo's absence, the Heat will need other players to step up. Tyler Herro has been impressive in recent games, averaging 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. Herro's spectacular pass to Dewayne Dedmon in the Heat's victory over the New Orleans Pelicans was a highlight of the night.
The Heat are reportedly looking to make a trade for an All-Star-level player this summer. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, several players around the league have expressed interest in playing for the Heat.
With the trade deadline approaching, the Heat could make a move to bolster their roster. However, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to acquire a player who can fill the void left by Oladipo's injury.
