DEWAYNE DEDMON NEWS

Cleared for Game 1 Dedmon (ankle) will warm up with the intention of playing Sunday in Game 1 of the Heat's first-round playoff series with the Hawks.

Impact One of five players listed as questionable or probable in advance of the Heat's postseason opener, Dedmon was sidelined one week ago for the Heat's regular-season finale against the Magic with the ankle injury, but since Miami had already clinched the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed by that point, he may just have sat out for precautionary purposes. Expect Dedmon to slot back in as starting center Bam Adebayo's primary backup Sunday.

Non-factor in Friday's defeat Dedmon contributed five points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 16 minutes during Friday's 111-103 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Dedmon saw 16 minutes off the bench Friday, the most he has played in well over a month. He has now scored in single digits in 11 straight games, highlighting just what a struggle it has been for him this season. As long as Bam Adebayo is healthy, there is little reason to think Dedmon's role will change anytime soon. He isn't a player worth monitoring in most formats.

Solid production off bench Dedmon (back) produced 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT) and seven rebounds across 14 minutes Saturday in the Heat's 133-129 win over the Spurs.

Impact After missing Miami's previous three contests with a back injury, Dedmon recaptured his typical role as the main backup to Bam Adebayo upon returning to action Saturday. In addition to making an impact in the box score, Dedmon was a plus-7 during his time on the court, so he should be solidified ahead of Omer Yurtseven on the depth chart for the time being.
