Heat's Maurice Harkless (health and safety) ruled out for Tuesday
Miami Heat forward Maurice Harkless (health and safety protocols) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Harkless joins the multitude of other Heat starters that have been compromised by close contact with someone that tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, meaning he will miss at (the very) least this next upcoming game and probably more.
It's unclear how the league plans to proceed with multiple possible outbreaks of the COVID-19 virus underway across the league, but if the Heat are required to play they will be forced to elevate players from the G-league in order to field a legal lineup.
