Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 17, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — For the first time since guard Terry Rozier was arrested in October as part of an FBI gambling investigation and subsequently placed on leave by the league, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver on Tuesday directly addressed the impact on the Miami Heat. Rozier, who was arraigned last week, remains listed on the Heat roster, with his $26.6 million salary continuing to count against the team’s payroll. In addition, the Heat still owe the Charlotte Hornets a future first-round draft choice from the teams’ January 2024 trade. Multiple NBA sources have confirmed that neither the league nor the...

Winderman’s view: Again no Herro, and again no sense of where this is headed for slumping Heat

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 16, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 106-96 loss to the Toronto Raptors: – Tyler Herro was away. – Or at least out of view. – But the debate doesn’t go anywhere. – On one hand, with Herro unavailable because of a return of his toe issue, Norman Powell again got to somewhat play as leading man. – On the other, the offense in this one sure looked like it could have used some of Herro’s help. – The bottom line: The Heat need to see more Herro. – Because the Heat need to see more of how/if this works. – The Heat waited nearly two months for Herro to get back from...

Heat skid hits five as Herro misses 106-96 loss to Raptors

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 16, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – The payoff for five days off? A fifth straight loss. Whether playing games in bunches or otherwise, it is not going well for the Miami Heat, this time falling 106-96 Monday night to the Toronto Raptors at Kaseya Center. Still without a victory since Dec. 1, the Heat this time could not overcome another injury absence from guard Tyler Herro. Factor in an ugly early tumble that left Heat forward Nikola Jovic with an elbow injury and the return from the five-day break seemingly only pushed Erik Spoelstra’s team further toward a breaking point. As has been the case in recent games, the...

Heat’s Nikola Jovic assisted to locker room after hard fall, elbow injury

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on December 16, 2025. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic left Monday night’s game against the Toronto Raptors with his right arm in a protective brace after a hard fall when he was fouled in the first quarter. The Heat initially listed it as an elbow injury, ruling him out for the night. Jovic, who had been held out of the rotation in two of the previous three games, got the opportunity for the playing time with Tyler Herro (toe) and Pelle Larsson (ankle) sidelined for the Heat. Herro was a late scratch due to the toe issue that previously had sidelined him for two games last week. Jovic entered Monday...
