The Miami Heat have some good news heading into the playoffs — P.J. Tucker’s right calf strain, which he sustained in Tuesday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets, is not considered severe.
Tucker will miss the Heat’s final two regular season games — the home finale against the Atlanta Hawks Friday night and the season finale at the Orlando Magic Sunday. Moreover, Miami won’t open the playoffs until the weekend of April 16 and 17 as teams seeded seventh through 10th face off in the play-in tournament for both conferences.
