Heat’s Omer Yurtseven expected to miss three months of action

Miami Heat center Omer Yurtseven is expected to miss three months due to left ankle surgery. Yurtseven is expected to undergo surgery this week after consulting multiple experts on his ankle injury, as reported by Miami Herald.

Miami has been listing Yurtseven as out due to impingement in the ankle. Sources indicate that is being caused by bone spurs. Yurtseven hasn’t played since the Heat’s preseason opener due to the persistent soreness. It’s a big loss for Miami, as Yurtseven was expected to be a rotation player ahead of restricted free agency this coming summer.
