Erupts for career-high 41 Jaquez recorded 41 points (17-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists in 41 minutes during Sunday's 119-118 loss to Washington.

Impact With Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo and other key Heat players resting ahead of the Play-In Tournament, Jaquez stepped up with a career-best scoring effort in a losing cause. The second-year wing hadn't scored more than 14 points or attempted more than 10 field goals in a game since Jan. 9 however, so Sunday's massive volume isn't likely to be repeated in the postseason even if he retains a significant role in Miami's rotation.

Impact Jaquez made his return from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, but he was unable to capture a major role even while Miami was without three other rotation players in Andrew Wiggins (ankle), Alec Burks (back) and Kel'el Ware (knee). If at least one or two of those players are back in action for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Jaquez could be at risk of dropping out of the rotation.
