Jimmy Butler Avoids Serious Injury

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) was forced to exit during the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The superstar forward injured his right foot, but luckily the X-rays came back negative. The expectation is that the organization will still have Butler undergo an MRI within the next day or two. Jaime […]

Caleb Martin Sidelined Again

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) remains out on Saturday night versus Utah. He'll now miss his second straight game because of a sprained right ankle. Fortunately, Miami will have Jimmy Butler (calf) back after missing the last four games, so that will help lessen the blow caused by Martin's absence. There's also a chance […]

Kyle Lowry Out Again On Saturday Night

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (head) won't play on Saturday versus the Utah Jazz. The veteran will now miss his second consecutive game because of a head contusion, although there's a chance he could return on Monday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Nonetheless, Lowry has averaged only 9.4 points this season, one of the lowest […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Good To Go Versus Utah

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) will play on Saturday against the Utah Jazz. He was questionable because of a non-COVID-related illness, although it doesn't appear he was in any real jeopardy of missing this contest. The rookie has played well above expectations during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 13.8 points in 31 games, including […]

Jimmy Butler Removed From The Injury Report

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (calf) will play on Saturday versus the Jazz. The 34-year-old missed his last four contests because of a calf issue, so he may not log his usual workload in his first game back from the injury. But Butler's return will send Haywood Highsmith back to the bench. At the same […]

Josh Richardson Could Be Out For A Third Consecutive Game

Miami Heat shooting guard Josh Richardson (back) is questionable to face the Utah Jazz on Saturday. He's in danger of missing a third consecutive game as Richardson battles a lower back issue. Miami could really use his versatility in Saturday's matchup, as Richardson is one of five big rotational pieces dealing with health problems ahead […]

Caleb Martin Doubtful For Saturday's Action

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) looks set to miss a second consecutive game, with the team listing him as doubtful for a clash with the Jazz on Saturday. Martin sprained his right ankle in Monday's Christmas battle with Philadelphia and was unavailable when the Heat faced Golden State on Thursday. Haywood Highsmith stepped into […]

Kyle Lowry Listed As Questionable Saturday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (soreness) has been tagged questionable for Saturday's encounter with Utah. He could be out for a second consecutive game after already missing Thursday's matchup with Golden State due to general soreness. R.J. Hampton was lifted into the starting unit as Lowry's replacement. He didn't do a lot in 25 […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Battling An Illness, Could Be Out Saturday

Miami Heat small forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) could sit out Saturday's meeting with the Jazz, as the team considers him questionable for the game. Miami's rookie sensation has picked up an illness bug and will sit out his first game of the season if he can't play on Saturday. Jaquez Jr. has seemingly improved […]

Jimmy Butler Questionable Saturday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (calf) is considered questionable for Saturday's clash against Utah. He's been unavailable for four games with a left calf strain. Butler's return would have a big impact on a number of players, as he has a 25.5 percent usage rate for the season. If Butler can't make it back, he […]

Josh Richardson Officially Out On Thursday

Miami Heat forward Josh Richardson (back) has been downgraded to out ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This was expected as Richardson was considered doubtful for this game due to lower back discomfort. The Heat are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Richardson. That means, Jaime […]

Josh Richardson Expected To Play Versus Philly

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (back) is expected to suit up on Monday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The 30-year-old is probable after battling back spasms. Unfortunately, he has averaged 10.0 points and shooting a career-low 32.7 points this season, so his expected availability for the Christmas meeting with Philly won't mean much for many fantasy […]
