Miami’s head-coach Erik Spoelstra gave his thoughts on the ongoing situation with Heat’s mascot Burnie after the incident during Game 4, which saw Conor McGregor give him a hefty punch in the face.<\/p>\n
The Heat’s boss, however, gave positive feedback, stating that the mascot will be able to return for Game 6, if Miami are able to go that far.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the Miami Heat toughness that we\u2019re talking about,\u201d Spoelstra said. \u201cHe should\u2019ve been allowed to take the first swing. We won\u2019t reveal who [Burnie] is, but he\u2019s tough, to take that punch and get back up. He\u2019s not gonna miss any time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Game 5 is just around the corner and the Miami team will need every bit of fortune to go their way, if they want to keep their chances alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
