James Johnson Practices on Tuesday
Miami Heat forward James Johnson (groin) was able to practice on Tuesday, but has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Wayne Ellington Remains Sidelined for Wednesday
Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He still has not made his season debut, but did go through shootaround on Saturday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra wants Ellington to get through a full practice before letting him return to game action. It sounds like […]
Justise Winslow is Probable on Wednesday
Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Winslow is set to make his season debut after dealing with a lingering hamstring issue.
