Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 119-110  loss to the Indiana Pacers: – When will the Heat be whole? – Or, perhaps more to the point, will they be whole? – On a night there was thought the Heat would be getting Jimmy Butler back, they instead lost Jaime Jaquez for the night — and possibly longer — in the third quarter with a sprained right ankle. – That was with Butler already out for a third consecutive game with a sprained right ankle of his own. – Butler is expected back Monday night against the visiting 76ers. – Who already have had their share of injury issues this season. – Which means little in the way of sympathy for the Heat. – But from Kevin Love and Josh Richardson missing the start of the season. – To Jaquez experiencing Montezuma’s revenge. – To Butler’s ankle. – And now Jaquez’s ankle … cohesion has been an abstract. – As it was last season. – With arguably less margin for error this time around. – Butler back will assuredly help. – But Jaquez as sixth man has been an essential element. – So, again, we wait. – As Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo continually deal with the heaviest lifting. – With Butler (ankle) still out, the Heat opened for a fourth consecutive game with a lineup of Adebayo, Herro, Love, Haywood Highsmith and Terry Rozier. – Jaquez and Nikola Jovic entered first off the Heat bench. – Duncan Robinson and Richardson then followed together. – And that was it for the primary rotation, at nine deep. – No Kel’el Ware in the initial mix this time. – And no Pelle Larsson. – As Alec Burks remains out of the mix. – Herro extended his streak of games with at least one 3-pointer to 51, two games off the longest such streak of his career. – Herro also now has converted multiple 3-pointers in every game this season.
