The schedule does what the schedule does. After a compressed opening stretch, Miami faces its first true back-to-back of the month, and the staff has to weigh minutes against availability later in the year.
The pattern
The Heat have historically treated November as a load-management month for anyone carrying a soft-tissue history. That usually means a shorter rotation for one night and a longer one the next, rather than a full night off.
What the team is saying
The public message is unchanged: day-to-day, evaluated by the medical staff, no timeline offered. Treat any specific return date circulating online as speculation until the team publishes one.
