A key participant in Saturday’s action has gone missing in Washington.

The Miami Heat (2-2) and Washington Wizards (2-2) travel to Mexico City to meet Saturday night.

The Heat come into this matchup coming off a nine-point loss to Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks, while the Wizards are coming off a double-digit win over the Atlanta Hawks.

Here’s the full injury list from Saturday night:

HEAT

Kevin Love: Withdrew from the game – personal reasons
Duncan Robinson: Dropped out – personal reasons
Keshad Johnson: Out – G League, two-way
Josh Christopher: Out – G League, two-way match

WIZARDS

Kyle Kuzma: Out of game – right groin strain
Malcolm Brogdon out due to surgery on right thumb
Saddiq Bey: Out of action – surgery on left anterior cruciate ligament

Here’s what Heat fan favorite Goran Dragic, who will be in attendance, had to say about the biggest challenge of playing in Mexico.

“Height,” Dragic began. “I can tell you right now that I don’t remember the height, but I think it’s a lot higher than Denver. I remember when I was here with the Heat, Spo was replacing us every two minutes or so because it was so hard. Everyone was breathing heavily, you couldn’t run anymore, and then you needed time to rest. That was probably the hardest thing.”

The match starts at 9:30 pm ET.
