DEWAYNE DEDMON
Set to return Saturday Dedmon (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Dedmon is good to go Saturday after missing the team's last three games due to back spasms. As a result, Omer Yurtseven will likely see a reduced role in Miami's frontcourt. Dedmon is averaging 6.6 points and 6.1 rebounds over 16.4 minutes per game this season.

Questionable Saturday Dedmon (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Impact Dedmon missed a third straight game Friday against the Knicks due to back spasms, but he'll have a chance to return in the second half of the back-to-back set. Omer Yurtseven should see increased run once again if Dedmon remains out.

Won't play Tuesday Dedmon has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Mavericks due to back spasms, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Dedmon is a late scratch Tuesday, which should open the door for Omer Yurtseven to see increased playing time behind Bam Adebayo. It's unclear if the back spasms will keep him sidelined for Thursday's contest against the Hornets, which is Miami's final game before the All-Star break.

Grabs nine boards in loss Saturday Dedmon totaled six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 18 minutes during Saturday's 124-120 triple-overtime loss to the Raptors.
Impact Dedmon had a relatively productive game Saturday, putting up low-volume numbers across the board. Now that Bam Adebayo is back and firing on all cylinders, Dedmon has once assumed the role as the primary backup. His playing time is unlikely to get above 20 minutes on any given night but that is enough for him to at least be considered in deeper formats.

Plays ahead of Yurtseven Dedmon played 16 minutes off the bench in Monday's 104-99 win over the Raptors and finished with eight points (4-6 FG), nine rebounds and three blocks.
Impact After missing seven straight contests with a Grade 1 MCL sprain in his left knee, Dedmon made his return to action Jan. 12, but he was forced to settle for a backup role after rookie Omer Yurtseven had claimed the starting job following a string of strong performances. Though Yurtseven had averaged an impressive 13.6 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 30.9 minutes per contest while starting in each of the previous 10 games, he was moved out of the rotation entirely when top center Bam Adebayo (thumb) made his return from a seven-week absence Monday. Adebayo logged 32 minutes in his return and should see the overwhelming majority of the playing time at center moving forward, but Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra looks like he'll prioritize Dedmon over Yurtseven as the top backup option. Though Yurtseven is the more imposing rebounder, Dedmon is the more skilled shot-blocker and defender and offers more of a floor-stretching option at center.
