Jaime Jaquez Exits Hornets Game with Ankle Sprain After Strong Performance

Jaime Jaquez of the Miami Heat exited Friday's 126-108 win over the Hornets due to an ankle sprain. Prior to his exit, Jaquez had a significant impact, contributing 18 points on efficient 8-of-15 shooting from the field, including 1-of-1 from three-point range and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line. In his 33 minutes on the court, he also recorded eight rebounds, nine assists, and two blocks. The extent of his ankle injury and his availability for future games will be a key concern for the Heat.
