Heat owner Micky Arison missing Game 7 due to COVID-19

Miami Heat owner Micky Arison was unable to attend Sunday’s Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics at FTX Arena due to NBA health-and-safety protocols. Arison, a fixture at his courtside seat at midcourt opposite the scorers’ table, has been particularly vigilant amid the pandemic, including one of the driving forces behind the team’s vaccination campaign.
