NBA Training Camps haven't even started, and yet, the Miami Heat may already find themselves in an early-season hole. That's because the injury to Haywood Highsmith, who is expected to miss roughly two months, could have a bigger impact on the team than many are willing to admit.
For a team that is likely going to be fighting for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, losing one of their more consistent rotation players is not how they want to begin the season. The two-month recovery timeline for Haywood keeps him out right until the middle of October.
