Key Player Ruled Out For Wizards-Heat Game
USA TODAY Sports

On Friday evening, the Miami Heat  will host the Washington Wizards in Florida.

For the game, they will remain without Caleb Martin, who has been ruled out.

Martin has missed each of the previous four games, so this will be his fifth straight out of action. 

Via The Heat: "#WASvsMIA INJURY UPDATE: Caleb Martin (knee) has been ruled out of tomorrow night's In-Season Tournament game vs the Wizards."

Martin played in the team's first game, and had two points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal while shooting 1/7 from the field in 19 minutes of playing time.

The Heat have gotten off to a tough start to the year and are 1-4 in their first five games.

They most recently lost by a score of 109-105 to the Brooklyn Nets (at home) on Wednesday night.
