Lamar Odom, who signed a six-year, $65 million contract with the Heat this summer, sprained his ankle in the first quarter and is listed as day-to-day.
Also banged up and questionable for Wednesday was rookie Dwyane Wade - who scored 18 points in his first NBA game - and veteran shooting guard Eddie Jones.
Wade sustained a hip pointer when he took a charge from Eric Snow in the first half, while Jones sustained cuts on two fingers on his right hand. Both are listed as day-to-day.
