Erik Spoelstra on Gabe Vincent
Vincent would be assessed on Wednesday to see if the injury changes overnight, according to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
Spoelstra commended Vincent for being ready to come back into the game and test his ankle.
He said, “We’ll have to find out tomorrow. Whenever you ask these guys, they are like, ‘Yeah, I’m fine.’ So we’ll see.
“Gabe is as tough as they come. He just wanted to — he said, ‘Let me retape it.’

"We have a lot of guys in the locker room like that. You know, all year long they have been putting themselves out there.
"So yeah, that’s why he has so much respect in the locker room.”
Vincent is key to the Miami Heat, especially with Victor Oladipo injured.
