The Heat’s most recent health update for Game 5 against the Celtics

With their season on the line, the reigning Eastern Conference winners make their way back to TD Garden.

 

The series was knotted at one game when this first-round rivalry matchup was shifted to Miami, and the Celtics won both games at the Kaseya Center.

Boston kept the Heat under 90 points in both of those games, winning by double digits.

But without Kristaps Porzingis, the C’s will have to work harder to punch their ticket to the second round of the playoffs. The seven-foot-three center’s right calf was strained in the soleus muscle.

Here’s the most recent information on Porzingis’ schedule and possible ways for Boston to fill in for him.

Miami added another starter to its injury report for Game 5. Miami has already lost Terry Rozier due to a neck spasm and Jimmy Butler due to an MCL sprain this season.

Jaime Jaquez, Jr. has been ruled inactive by the Heat due to a strain in his right hip flexor. In this series, the UCLA rookie is averaging 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists.

The game at TD Garden on Wednesday will begin at 7:30 EST.
