Miami Heat starters Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic have both been ruled out for Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Adebayo is dealing with multiple upper-body injuries, including a shoulder strain and neck strain suffered in Miami’s Game 1 loss. The Heat cited his neck strain on Sunday’s injury report. Dragic suffered a torn plantar fascia in his left foot in Game 1.
Adebayo had hoped to play
Both players missed Game 2 on Friday, a 124-114 Lakers win. Dragic’s continued absence was expected, but Adebayo had hoped to play Sunday as Miami faces the prospect of a 3-0 hole in the series.
