Won't play Thursday Zeller (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

Questionable for Thursday Zeller is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact It's unclear when Zeller suffered his injury, but it could keep him out of Thursday's contest. With Jonas Valanciunas (illness) also questionable, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl could be in store for extended minutes at center.

Logs 12 minutes in loss Zeller provided four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Saturday's 124-118 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Zeller scored four points in 12 minutes, having now played at least that much in three straight games. Despite featuring in the rotation on a most consistent basis, Zeller provides very little outside of rebounds. He could be utilized for streaming purposes in deeper formats but would need an injury to Jonas Valanciunas to have any chance at 12-team success.

Modest role as backup center Zeller accumulated zero points (0-1 FG, 0-2 FT) and three rebounds over five minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 win over the Mavericks.

Impact With Larry Nance (ribs) sidelined, Zeller is the primary backup center behind Jonas Valanciunas. However, Zeller has played double-digit minutes just twice over the Pelicans' last five games. New Orleans is opting to go smaller with its second unit, with Zion Williamson and now Naji Marshall -- who recently made his season debut -- operating as small-ball centers.

Suiting up Wednesday Zeller (back) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's season opener against the Grizzlies.

Impact Zeller is available for Wednesday's season opener despite not playing in the preseason with a back injury. He is expected to be New Orleans' third-string center behind Jonas Valanciunas and Larry Nance.

Full practice participant Zeller (back) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Remains out Tuesday Zeller (back) didn't play in Tuesday's 104-92 preseason win over the Magic.

Impact Zeller has yet to suit up this postseason while dealing with a back injury. His status for New Orleans' regular-season opener against Memphis on Oct. 25 is now in jeopardy.

Minimal impact in victory Zeller closed with one point (1-2 FT), one rebound and one steal across eight minutes during Sunday's 108-101 win over New York in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Impact Zeller managed just eight minutes in the win, failing to have a tangible impact once again. While he has had his moments thus far in the playoffs, as long as Bam Adebayo is healthy, Zeller figures to be nothing more than an emergency option on most nights.

Still out Saturday Zeller (nose) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets, Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Zeller continues to deal with a broken nose and will miss a sixth consecutive game, but coach Erik Spoelstra recently said that he expects the big man to return "sooner than later." Zeller's next opportunity to suit up will be Tuesday in Toronto.

Remains out Zeller (nose) is out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Zeller is slated to miss a fifth straight game due to a broken nose. He underwent surgery last week to correct the issue, and head coach Erik Spoelstra said the center should be back "sooner than later," but the Heat haven't released any firm timetable for Zeller's return. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus Brooklyn.

Out again Sunday Zeller (nose) is out for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Zeller recently underwent a procedure on his broken nose and will miss a fourth straight game. However, head coach Erik Spoelstra said the center should be back "sooner than later," so Zeller shouldn't remain out much longer. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against New York.

Won't play Saturday Zeller (nose) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Chicago.

Impact Zeller underwent a procedure on his broken nose Friday, but coach Erik Spoelstra said the center should be back "sooner than later." The 30-year-old will be forced to miss at least one game, while it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's matchup against Detroit.

Impact Zeller has already missed back-to-back games due to the broken nose, and his status for Miami's upcoming back-to-back this weekend remains unclear, though he can presumably be considered doubtful for those matchups after undergoing surgery Friday. After that, the Heat don't play again until a home contest Wednesday versus New York, which may be a reasonable return date for the veteran center. Before suffering the injury, Zeller averaged 5.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.0 minutes across his first nine appearances with his new squad.

MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return soon Coach Erik Spoelstra said Wednesday that he hopes Zeller (nose) will be able to return in "a couple of days," Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Zeller will miss his second straight game Wednesday after breaking his nose against Orlando. He is expected to play in the same face mask he used last season as a Trail Blazer. Zeller's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Bulls.

Out Monday Zeller (broken nose) won't play Monday against the Jazz.

Impact Zeller broke his nose Saturday, so he'll need to allow the swelling to go down and be fitted with a mask before he can return. With him out, perhaps Omer Yurtseven will be able to earn some limited minutes behind Bam Adebayo.
