Ahead of the crucial Game 6, the Miami Heat receive a boost as Nigeria's Gabe Vincent returns against the Boston Celtics.
Gabriel Nnamdi Vincent, a professional basketball player of Nigerian and American descent, is scheduled to return to the court.
Vincent is expected to make a return for the Miami Heat in Game 6 after sitting out the team's loss in Game 5 due to an ankle injury, according to a report by Ben Rohrbach.
On the most recent Miami Heat injury report, the 26-year-old Vincent was labeled as doubtful.
After the Heat won the decisive game 3 in South Florida, the Celtics found themselves down 3-0 in the series, but they have proven they are not going away quietly.
The Boston Celtics have completed a two-game winning streak, defeating Miami in games 4 and 5 by scores of double digits.
With simply too many turnovers, some of which were also unforced, the Miami Heat offense is currently showing signs of excessive stagnation and mediocrity.
Boston is making its 3-point attempts and has been able to go free in transition.
According to Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat, this game 6 in Miami will be regarded as a game 7.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, he is averaging 17.5 points, 2.8 made three-pointers, 2.3 assists, and 2.0 rebounds per game.
The Miami Heat should have greater depth with Vincent's return, and adding another ball handler should help them reduce turnovers.
