GAME LOG

Kyle Lowry - Won't play Monday Lowry has been ruled out for Monday's game against Minnesota due to general soreness.
Impact Lowry will miss his first game since Nov. 12. Josh Richardson is a candidate to move into the starting lineup in Lowry's absence, but Tyler Herro has also been cleared to suit up for the first time since Nov. 8 and figures to absorb some of Lowry's usage. Lowry's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Orlando.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Keeps producing Jaquez recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 win over the Bulls.
Impact Jaquez continuing to have and produce in a large role, even with Caleb Martin fully reintroduced to 30-plus nightly minutes as well, is extremely encouraging for his rest-of season-value. Jaquez has been a seamless fit to Miami's offense, improving the Heat's scoring performance by 4.8 points per 100 possessions through his first 26 games.

Kyle Lowry - Shark facilitation in win Lowry notched 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 32 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 victory over the Bulls. He also registered ze...
Impact Lowry protected the rock while bringing his brand of two-way grittiness to a contest that was tight throughout the second half. He's been a streaky shooter thus far, but Lowry is canning a career-best 43.9 percent of 4.9 threes per game through 25 games this season.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Booms for 22 points Love posted 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Love rained in six threes en route to a season-high 22-points. Logging 26 minutes matched his second-largest workload of the season, but he's stepping up recently amid Bam Adebayo's (hip) absence. Burying 3.4 threes per game at a 42.5 percent clip over his last four games, Love has helped propel Miami's league-best 39.5 percent shooting from beyond the arc as a team.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Martin - Continues producing Martin amassed 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Since returning to a 30-minute role over the past 10 games, Martin has been extremely efficient, averaging 17.0 points while connecting on 50.8 percent of 13.2 shots per game. Difficult matchups against the Timberwolves and Magic are on deck for Miami, but Martin's minute share has been strong and his usage rate is currently at a career-high 20.3 percent, which support his nightly floor.

Jamal Cain - Cleared to play Cain (finger) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Josh Richardson is available for the Heat, so Cain is likely to provide emergency depth Saturday. Cain has averaged 14.1 minutes across eight appearances this season.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Cain - Iffy against Chicago Cain is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls due to a left middle finger sprain.
Impact Cain is a late addition to the injury report and could miss Saturday's contest due to a finger injury. However, with Josh Richardson back in the lineup after missing the last two games with a back injury, Cain is unlikely to receive significant playing time, even if available.
DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jovic - Returns to NBA The Heat recalled Jovic from the Sioux Falls Skycorce of the G League on Saturday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Jovic will return to the Heat after spending the last few games with the Skyforce in the G League. With Bam Adebayo (hip) out, Jovic will have a chance to crack Miami's rotation.
DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Haywood Highsmith - Set to return Saturday Highsmith (back) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Highsmith will return to action Saturday after missing the previous five games with back spasms. The 26-year-old forward will likely reclaim his starting spot from Caleb Martin against Chicago.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Richardson - Good to go against Chicago Richardson (back) is available for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Richardson is set to play Saturday after missing the previous two games with back spasms. Richardson is averaging 12.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 28.4 minutes across his last five appearances.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Still out Saturday Adebayo (hip) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Adebayo's absence streak will extend to seven games Saturday due to a left hip contusion. Orlando Robinson will likely continue to start in his absence. Adebayo's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Minnesota.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Orlando Robinson - Limited production in start Robinson put up one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds over 14 minutes in Thursday's 124-116 loss to Chicago.
Impact After promising performances in his first two starts, Robinson has since cooled off, seeing his minutes gradually decrease as he splits time at center with Thomas Bryant. He has averaged 8.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 steals across 21.7 minutes per game in his six starts, but he will likely return to the third-string role once Bam Adebayo (hip) is cleared to return.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Posts well-rounded line in loss Butler racked up 20 points (6-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Butler didn't shoot well from the field Thursday, but he nonetheless managed to reach the 20-point mark for the 11th time through 21 games this season. The veteran forward also dished a team-high seven assists and added seven boards to round out a solid performance. Butler's numbers are mostly down this season, but he's still been a valuable fantasy asset with 21.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 dimes, 0.9 triples and 1.1 steals over 34.0 minutes per contest.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Martin - Records double-double in loss Martin notched 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds and four assists in 39 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Martin saw his seven-game streak with double-digit points get snapped against Charlotte in his previous contest, but he got right back on track with a 17-point effort Thursday. The forward complemented the scoring with a team-high 11 boards to finish with his second double-double of the campaign. Martin is in the midst of his best NBA season to date, averaging career highs of 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 triples per contest.
DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Leads team in scoring Thursday Jaquez ended Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Bulls with 22 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes.
Impact Jaquez couldn't extend his two-game streak with multiple triples, but he still led Miami in scoring, partly on the strength of a 9-for-10 performance from the charity stripe. The rookie forward reached the 20-point mark for the first time in six games, though he did fine with 15.0 points per contest in the interim. Jaquez failed to notch double-digit scoring in any of his first seven NBA contests, but he's done so in 17 of 18 outings since.

Tyler Herro - Targeting return next week Herro (ankle), who has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Chicago, is targeting a return Monday against the Timberwolves or Wednesday against the Magic, Barry Jackson of th...
Impact Herro continues to deal with a right ankle sprain that has sidelined him for multiple weeks, and he's been ramping up his work behind the scenes. While he'll remain sidelined for Saturday's rematch against the Bulls, he hopes to return sometime in the first half of next week.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Haywood Highsmith - Still sidelined Thursday Highsmith (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Chicago, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Highsmith will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game due to back spasms. His next chance to suit up will be in a rematch against the Bulls on Saturday, but it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. Caleb Martin, Orlando Robinson and Kevin Love should continue to see increased run Thursday.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Won't play Thursday Herro (ankle) is out for Thursday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Herro's absence streak will extend to 17 games Thursday due to a right ankle sprain. While he has been participating in individual drills, the 23-year-old guard has yet to log a full-contact practice. Herro's next chance to suit up is Saturday's rematch with Chicago.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Remains sidelined Thursday Adebayo (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Adebayo continues to deal with a hip injury and will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game. He doesn't yet have a timetable to return, but his next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday in a rematch against Chicago. Kevin Love, Orlando Robinson and Thomas Bryant remain candidates to see increased run in Adebayo's absence.
