Jayson Tatum is projected to require nine to twelve months for recovery following surgery, making it probable that he will be sidelined for the entire 2025-26 NBA season. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have completed their roster for the 2025-26 season opener against the Orlando Magic, announcing the signing of Jahmir Young as their third addition.
As of late January 2026, the injury report indicates that Zacharrie Risacher is expected to be unavailable until at least January 29 due to a knee injury. For the January 28 game between the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat, Heat players Tyler Herro (ribs) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) were listed as out, while Kel’el Ware (hamstring) and Norman Powell (back) were available to play.
Mobley is anticipated to miss a minimum of one week because of a calf injury, and Strus is sidelined for at least an additional four weeks with a foot injury. The Orlando Magic entered the matchup aiming to end a four-game losing streak against a Miami Heat team on the rise.
Data on left hamstring injuries suggests varying recovery periods based on severity, with historical records tracking player recoveries since 2010. The Miami Heat’s 2025-2026 regular season roster includes players such as Simone Fontecchio, Myron Gardner, Vladislav Goldin, and Tyler Herro.
NBA teams are required to report all injuries, illnesses, or rest status for players for every game during the 2025-26 season. Regarding the Heat’s readiness against the Magic, Kel’el Ware and Norman Powell were confirmed available, while Davion Mitchell was ruled out due to a shoulder injury.
Recovery durations from injuries depend primarily on the injury type and severity but can vary for individual cases. For the game on January 28, the Miami Heat announced that Norman Powell and Kel’el Ware would participate, while Davion Mitchell remained sidelined. Injury reports note that Mitchell has a left shoulder sprain, Powell experienced low back tightness, and Ware has a right hamstring strain.
The Orlando Magic’s recent roster moves include a series of signings, trades, and waivers during the early part of 2026.
