3 years agoMiami Heat power forward/center Markieff Morris (neck) will miss Wednesday's contest against the Lakers due to the whiplash that he sustained after an altercation with Nikola Jokic on Monday. Morris delivered one of his better games of the season prior to the incident, reaching the double-digit scoring mark for just the second time this year. A valuable member of Miami's second unit, Morris' absence could funnel more minutes in the direction of Dewayne Dedmon and KZ Okpala. It's unclear how long Morris could be sidelined, but his next chance to suit up comes Thursday vs. his brother, Marcus, and the Clippers.--Jesse Borek
