This story will probably be worth keeping an eye on throughout the week. The Heat are obviously hoping to avoid any further virus-related setbacks.
COVID-19 issues are spreading throughout multiple pro sports leagues, and the situation seems to be getting worse. The NBA in particular seems to have a legitimate problem on its hands.
It remains to be seen if there will be a pause at some point in this NBA season, but it sounds like that possibility might be on the table.
From a league source:
"There's gonna be a pause at some point. Just a matter of when."

For now, the Heat have no choice but to stay focused on the task at hand. The squad’s next matchup will come Monday against a really pesky Cleveland Cavaliers squad.
The Cavs have been one of the biggest surprises of the season so far in the NBA. Despite playing a very tough schedule to this point, Cleveland has a 16-12 record and seems like a legitimate playoff contender in the Eastern Conference.
Monday’s game could end up being a tricky matchup for Miami. It’s a road game for the Heat, so that adds another dicey element. Miami is hoping to come away with a victory and extend its win streak to three games.
