Available to return Saturday Morris (neck) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Morris was initially ruled out, but the plan has changed, and he'll be available to play for the first time in four months after suffering whiplash from an elbow to the back by Nikola Jokic. He's been ramping up his conditioning lately, but he'll still likely have his minutes monitored, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect much in his first game back. Still, it's a great development for the Heat, who have very little depth at power forward behind P.J. Tucker, and Morris can even play some small-ball five. In his 10 appearances this season, he's averaged 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.8 minutes.
