But in another piece of news, James Johnson said that he may not be ready for Miami’s season opener Oct. 17. Johnson is still recovering from his off-season sports hernia surgery.

This news could mean that the Heat will be without Johnson and Dion Waiters for opening night. Pat Riley has already said that Waiters is unlikely to be ready for Miami’s first opener, and he did not speak to the media today.
