Jaime Jaquez Jr. On Track To Return Wednesday
12 seconds agoMiami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) is trending towards a return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, as the team lists him as probable for the contest. A stomach bug kept the sophomore off the floor on Monday versus the Orlando Magic. Amid the Jimmy Butler drama, Jaquez Jr. has enjoyed his best month of the season. He has averaged 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.4 steals for January. The 23-year-old also posted his first career triple-double this month. Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson will likely lose minutes to Jaquez Jr. if he is ready to return on Wednesday.
