GAME LOG

Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Coming off bench Jaquez isn't starting Monday's game against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Jaquez saw an opportunity to start in Miami's previous contest due to multiple injuries in the frontcourt, but he'll return to his usual bench role Monday evening. Jimmy Butler will slot in as the starting small forward, joined by Kevin Love at power forward and Thomas Bryant at center.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Thomas Bryant - Nabs start at center Bryant is starting Monday night's game against Milwaukee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Bryant will draw his first start of the season while Bam Adebayo recovers from a hip contusion. Bryant has seen limited action in his first three contests of the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 5.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 13.7 minutes per game.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Richardson - Good to go Richardson (foot) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Bucks.
Impact Richardson was upgraded to questionable earlier in the day, and he's since been cleared to make his 2023-24 debut after missing time with a foot injury. He'll come off the bench Monday and could potentially be on a minutes restriction to ensure he doesn't miss any additional time.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Available Monday Love (shoulder) is available and starting Monday's matchup against the Bucks.
Impact As expected, Love has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action following a one-game absence. Across two games, the veteran sharpshooter has averaged 11.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 24.0 minutes per game.

Bam Adebayo sitting out Heat's game against the Bucks due to hip bruise

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo won’t play in Monday night’s game at Milwaukee after bruising his hip two nights earlier
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bam Adebayo - Officially ruled out Adebayo (hip) will miss Monday's game against Milwaukee, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Adebayo's status worsened throughout the day, culminating in being ruled out during Miami's pre-game warmups. He appears to be day-to-day, but Thomas Bryant and Orlando Robinson will fill his void in the meantime.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Dealing with hip contusion Adebayo has been downgraded to questionable for Monday's game against Milwaukee due to a left hip contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Adebayo wasn't listed on Miami's initial injury report, but his status is now in question following the team's morning shootaround. If the All-Star center is unavailable versus Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks, Kevin Love, Thomas Bryant, Orlando Robinson, and Nikola Jovic would all be candidates for increased playing time.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Richardson - Officially upgraded to questionable Richardson (foot) has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Richardson's upgrade isn't particularly surprising, as coach Erik Spoelstra said that the 30-year-old was "very close" to returning after participating in Monday's shootaround. Even if the Heat elect to hold him out for a fourth consecutive game Monday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to game action soon.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Martin - Won't play Monday Martin (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Martin will miss a third straight game due to a lingering knee injury. In his absence, Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson are candidates for increased playing time.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Richardson - Goes through shootaround Richardson (foot) will be a game-time call against the Bucks on Monday, Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel reports.
Impact Richardson was initially listed as doubtful, but he made it through the team's morning shootaround, and coach Erik Spoelstra said the forward was very close to being cleared for game action. Richardson's potential return would be a boost for Miami, as Caleb Martin (knee) remains sidelined.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
NBA's new rest policy is already raising questions, but are they valid? Household names are missing games, but focusing on whether teams are following the letter of the law is not the whole story.

Jimmy Butler - Not on injury report Butler (rest) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Impact Butler rested during Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, but he'll be back in action Monday. Over his first two appearances of the season, he's averaged 16.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 34.0 minutes per game.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Martin - Unlikely to play Monday Martin (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game against Milwaukee.
Impact Martin has missed the last two games due to a knee injury and will likely be unavailable once again Monday. Assuming he's sidelined, Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson are candidates to see increased run.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Richardson - Doubtful Monday Richardson (foot) is listed as doubtful for Monday's contest against the Bucks.
Impact Richardson is likely to miss a fourth straight game to start the season due to a foot injury he sustained in the preseason. If officially ruled out, Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson could be slated for extended minutes, especially if Caleb Martin (knee) also can't go.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Probable Monday Love (shoulder) is expected to play Monday against the Bucks.
Impact Love missed Saturday's contest with a shoulder injury but is likely to return to the lineup against Milwaukee. The veteran big man carries averages of 11.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 24.5 minutes per game through two contests.

Former UCLA Star Jaime Jaquez Jr. Making Strong Impressions on Miami Heat, All-Star Teammates It appears as if Pat Riley made another shrewd draft choice with the selection of Jaquez Jr.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Bam Adebayo - Records 19 points in defeat Adebayo amassed 19 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-10 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 106-90 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact This 19-point performance was Adebayo's lowest scoring mark of the current season, but at the same time, that goes to show how strong his start to the campaign has been. The star big man is putting up 22.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game to open the 2023-24 campaign.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jovic - Grabs 11 rebounds in loss Jovic notched eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Saturday's 106-90 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Jovic got the start at power forward since the Heat were without Jimmy Butler (rest) and Kevin Love (shoulder), and he delivered a strong outing on both ends of the court, though his 11-rebound haul certainly stood out. Barring a surprising development, Jovic should head back to the bench when the Heat take on the Bucks on Monday.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Goes for 22 points Saturday Herro registered 22 points (8-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 40 minutes during Saturday's 106-90 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Herro is enjoying an excellent start to the season and has scored 20-plus points in each of his last two outings. The uptick in usage rate is related to the absence of Jimmy Butler, who was rested against the Timberwolves. However, even if Butler returns to face the Bucks on Monday, Herro should still play a prominent offensive role. Herro has attempted at least 20 shots in each of his three outings this season.
