Sarah K. Spencer: Rookie Onyeka Okongwu on Clint Capela: “Literally today, I asked Clint how he gets all those rebounds he gets. There’s players who are taller than him, but he manages to snag 20 boards every other game. I told him, I’m amazed.”
Joe Mussatto: Lu Dort (right hip strain) is out tonight at the Wizards. So is Isaiah Roby (right toe sprain). SGA, Mike Muscala and Josh Hall remain out. Gabriel Deck still isn’t with the team.

Heat concerned with Tyler Herro's celebrity status?
In a recent episode of the “Inside the Paint” podcast, hosts Ethan Skolnick and Ira Winderman revealed that the Heat have been concerned about Herro’s growing celebrity status as of late. “Tyler Herro chose to become a celebrity,” Winderman said. “He chose to become something outside the game, as is his right. With his breakfast cereal, and his Tyler Tuesdays, and his Chipotle Bowl and that’s all well and good. But you know what? Other players when they see a player doing that before they’ve truly reached it. I don’t want to say there’s a jealousy. … They sort of take a scant view of the guy and say, ‘Wait a minute buddy. You haven’t done anything yet.’”
Skolnick then dropped the bomb that the Heat organization has been concerned about Herro for quite some time. “Ultimately, the team starts to get a certain level of concern,” he said. “In this particular case, the team has been concerned now for months.”
