Jaime Jaquez Jr. Sidelined On Monday

The Miami Heat announced forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game with the Philadelphia 76ers. During Sunday's matchup with the Pacers, the 23-year-old suffered a right-ankle sprain that sidelined him for the rest of the contest. With Terry Rozier (foot) also out, Jimmy Butler (ankle) will likely absorb a lot of the […]

Terry Rozier Unavailable On Monday

Miami Heat point guard Terry Rozier (foot) is unavailable for Monday's game against the 76ers due to discomfort in his right foot. Since Monday's matchup is the second half of back-to-back sets, it's likely a precautionary decision to sit the 30-year-old. On the bright side, the Heat will be glad to have Jimmy Butler (ankle) […]

Jimmy Butler Available For Monday's Matchup With 76ers

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been cleared to play for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Butler had missed four consecutive contests due to a right ankle sprain.

With that in mind, Tyler Herro, averaging 28.7 points in the […]
