In Monday’s victory over the Raptors, Victor Wembanyama led the way for the Spurs as he ended the game with 24 points, 15 rebounds and four assists while Stephon Castle recorded 22 points, five rebounds and four assists.

Now San Antonio will try to keep their undefeated start to the season going on Thursday night at home against a Heat team that has also gotten off to a hot start to the season.

On the other side, the Heat enter Thursday’s game with a 3-1 record after defeating the Charlotte Hornets in dominating fashion on Tuesday night.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. led the way for Miami in Tuesday’s victory as he recorded 28 points, four rebounds and five assists off the bench while Bam Adebayo ended the game with 26 points and six rebounds.

While both teams are looking to grab another victory in Thursday’s matchup to keep their hot start to the season going, both squads may be without multiple key players due to injuries.

Heat Injury Report, Will Norman Powell, Nikola Jovic Play?

For the Heat, they have five players listed on their injury report entering Thursday’s game, including both Norman Powell and Nikola Jovic.

Miami has listed Powell as doubtful for Thursday’s game in San Antonio due to a groin strain and he is expected to miss his second consecutive game.

This is a massive blow for the Heat as Powell has been one of their key players this season, especially on the offensive end, and with him sidelined, Jaquez Jr. and Pelle Larson could be in line for a larger role.

For Jovic, he has been listed as probable due to a hip contusion that he suffered in Tuesday’s victory over the Hornets, though he is expected to play through the injury.

Miami has also ruled out Tyler Herro, Kasparas Jakucionis and Terry Rozier for Thursday’s game.

Spurs Injury Report, Will De’Aaron Fox, Luke Kornet Play?

On the other side, the Spurs also have five players listed on their injury report, including De’Aaron Fox and Luke Kornet.

For Fox, he has been ruled out once again due to a right hamstring strain as he has yet to make his season debut.

With Fox sidelined, Castle will likely remain the starting point guard for San Antonio while rookie Dylan Harper could continue to have an increased role off the bench.

San Antonio has also ruled out Kornet due to a left ankle sprain as he will miss his third consecutive game.
