Heat lose playmaker Winslow to NBA concussion protocol

Miami Heat swingman Justise Winslow has been placed into the NBA's concussion protocol and will be sidelined indefinitely, Heat coach Eric Spoelstra said. Winslow missed Miami's victory at Phoenix on Thursday with a headache after concussion symptoms began following a blow to his head in Tuesday's loss at Denver. The Heat, second in the Eastern Conference at 6-2, lost one of their top playmakers ahead of Friday's game at the Los Angeles Lakers, who share the NBA's best record with Boston at 6-1.
