GAME LOG

Caleb Martin - Will play through shoulder bruise Martin is available for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto despite a shoulder contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Martin notched season highs in points (22) and minutes (31) during Saturday's loss to the Nets. It appears he also suffered a shoulder injury during the contest, but it's not serious enough to sideline him. With Miami banged up, Martin should continue to see increased playing time and usage versus the Raptors.

Tyler Herro - Won't travel to Toronto Herro (ankle) won't travel to Toronto for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Herro hasn't played since spraining his right ankle Nov. 8 versus Memphis. He was spotted getting shots up last week and is due for another evaluation soon. However, until he's cleared for full-contact practices, Herro can be considered doubtful, at best. Duncan Robinson has thrived as a starter in Herro's absence and should continue getting plenty of looks on a nightly basis.
DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Haywood Highsmith - Won't play Wednesday Highsmith did not travel with the team in advance of Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Highsmith is set to miss Wednesday's game due to lingering back spasms. His back was an issue heading into Saturday's loss to Indiana, but the 26-year-old attempted to suit up prior to exiting the contest after three minutes of action. Jaime Jaquez and Caleb Martin will absorb his role, while Kevin Love will likely see an uptick in usage as well, especially with Bam Adebayo (hip) also out Wednesday.

Orlando Robinson - Plays well in starting role Robinson racked up 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 144-129 loss to Indiana.
Impact Bam Adebayo missed Saturday's contest due to a hip injury, giving Robinson the chance to make his first start of the campaign. Robinson took advantage of the opportunity, posting a season-high point total on an efficient shooting line that including a perfect 2-for-2 mark from beyond the arc. The big man has drained all four of his three-point attempts this season and was a respectable but not prolific deep shooter in college, so it will be interesting to see how much of that is part of his NBA repertoire. With Adebayo ruled out until at least next Friday, Robinson should get an extended opportunity to make an impression for at least a few more games.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Exceeds 30 points again Butler provided 33 points (12-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 37 minutes during Saturday's 144-129 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Butler suited up for a second straight contest following a two-game absence due an ankle injury. The star forward was great again despite Miami's loss, leading the team with 33 points and chipping in five boards along with five dimes. Butler has averaged 34.5 points over 37.5 minutes in the pair of games following his return from the ankle issue, so the injury doesn't seem to be lingering.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Richardson - Suffers knee contusion Richardson suffered a left knee contusion in Saturday's 144-129 loss to Indiana and was unable to return. He finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two r...
Impact This was one of Richardson's best performances of the season, although the Heat struggled overall. Richardson is likely to be considered day-to-day going forward, and the good news is that Miami is off until Wednesday against Toronto.

Haywood Highsmith - Will not return Highsmith (back) will not return to Saturday's game versus the Pacers.
Impact Highsmith left the game after just three minutes due to back spasms and wasn't able to return. He should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto. Kevin Love and Caleb Martin could pick up some extra run if Highsmith misses additional time, and it's worth nothing that Bam Adebayo (hip) has already been ruled out for Wednesday.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Haywood Highsmith - Questionable to return Highsmith is questionable to return to Saturday's game versus Indiana due to back spasms, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Highsmith played just three minutes of the first quarter before heading to the locker room. If he's unable to return, we could see more of Kevin Love and Caleb Martin for Miami.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Orlando Robinson - Draws start Saturday Robinson will join the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Bam Adebayo will not play Saturday due to his lingering hip issue, and he'll also miss Wednesday's game against Toronto. Thomas Bryant hasn't made the most of his opportunities in recent games, so Robinson has a big chance in front of him to impress.
DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Ruled out until next week Adebayo (hip) won't travel to face the Raptors next Wednesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Adebayo has already been ruled out of facing the Pacers on Saturday, but the issue is severe enough to keep him out for the team's upcoming game against the Raptors on Wednesday next week as well. His earliest chance to return will come against the Cavaliers next Friday, and the next few days will be pivotal to determining a more specific timetable for his return.
DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Will play Saturday Butler (ankle) is available to play Saturday against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact This is far from surprising, as Butler already played Thursday and posted 36 points with 10 rebounds in a win over the Pacers. The ankle issue is not severe enough to keep him on the sidelines, and the veteran forward should be ready to handle a full workload and a high usage rate, especially with Bam Adebayo (hip) out once again.

Kyle Lowry - Another solid showing in win Lowry dropped 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and a block in 25 minutes during Thursday's 142-132 win over the Pacers.
Impact Thursday night was Lowry's seventh straight contest in which he made multiple three-pointers, averaging 14.1 points, 4.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks (while shooting a remarkable 47.7 percentage from three) across 30.0 minutes in that span. As the team's main facilitator, expect Lowry to maintain a similar workload for the remainder of the season, though Tyler Herro's (ankle) impending return could change things.
DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Probable for Saturday Butler (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Butler returned from a two-game absence Thursday against Indiana and posted 36 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes during the win. Although he continues to deal with the ankle issue, he'll likely be able to suit up for Saturday's rematch.
DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Ruled out Adebayo (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Adebayo left Thursday's win over the Pacers after playing just 12 minutes due to a hip injury. The issue plagued the big man for a few days before Thursday, so it's not surprising to see Miami exercise caution and keep him sidelined for a game. Adebayo's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Toronto, while Thomas Bryant, Orlando Robinson and Kevin Love are candidates for increased roles in the frontcourt versus Indiana.

Josh Richardson - Drops 19 off bench Richardson closed with 19 points (8-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 142-132 win over the Pacers.
Impact The veteran guard has scored in double digits in six straight games, and Richardson has become a key figure in the Miami backcourt while Tyler Herro (ankle) has been sidelined. Richardson is averaging 30.1 minutes over 11 games without Herro in the lineup, supplying 12.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.9 boards, 1.5 threes and 0.8 steals over that stretch. With Herro inching closer to a return though, Richardson's run of deep-league fantasy utility could soon come to an end.
DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Hits for career-high 24 Jaquez closed Thursday's 142-132 win over Indiana with 24 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes.
Impact It was a career-best scoring effort for the 18th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, as Jaquez continues to take advantage of Tyler Herro's absence due to an ankle injury. The 22-year-old is averaging 32.4 minutes in 11 games since Herro was sidelined with 16.0 points, 4.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steals, plus a 53.8/46.2/90.0 shooting line that belies his status as a rookie. Herro should be back in the lineup early in December, but Jaquez doesn't figure to give up his increased role in the rotation easily.
DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Erupts for 36 in wild win Butler produced 36 points (9-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 18-20 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes during Thursday's 142-132 win over the Pacers.
Impact The veteran forward tied his season high in scoring and produced his second double-double of the campaign as he carried the load for a Heat roster that's still without Tyler Herro (ankle) and which saw Bam Adebayo (hip) play only 12 minutes Thursday. Butler had missed the last two games himself due to an ankle injury, but his short-term usage figures to skyrocket if Adebayo is forced to miss additional time. In his eight games since Herro was sidelined, Butler's averaging 24.6 points, 4.6 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals.
