NBA Debate: Are the Pelicans contenders? And are the Nets back?

Miami Heat's Kyle Lowry Expected Back Saturday Against San Antonio Spurs After missing his first game of the season, Lowry returning to the lineup.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Gabe Vincent - Officially out Saturday Vincent (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday that Vincent could miss additional games, and he'll officially be sidelined for a third consecutive matchup. His next chance to return will be Monday against Indiana, but the Heat have indicated that they want to make sure the 26-year-old is fully healthy before returning to action.

Dewayne Dedmon - Labeled questionable Saturday Dedmon is labeled questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

Impact Dedmon has consistently held a questionable tag while battling his nagging foot problem. Unfortunately, it's been hit-or-miss whether or not he's been able to suit up each night, so it will be worth monitoring the big man's status ahead of the game.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Victor Oladipo - Expected to play Saturday Oladipo is probable to play in Saturday's matchup with San Antonio due to left knee tendinosis.

Impact Oladipo will likely play in his third straight game but is still dealing with knee issues that kept him out at the start of the season. However, the 30-year-old guard is on a minutes restriction, as he played 21 and 19 minutes in his last two games, respectively.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Duncan Robinson - Probable Saturday Robinson holds a probable designation for Saturday's game against the Spurs despite a left ankle sprain listing.

Impact Robinson has been listed as probable for each of the last four games before suiting up in each of the contests, so he should be active again Saturday. That being said, Robinson has only seen the floor in one of those games, so his availability doesn't necessarily mean he has a sizeable role in store.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Herro - Likely to play Saturday Herro is probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Herro has played 37 or more minutes in seven straight contests despite being listed on the injury report leading up to nearly every game. He should be expected to handle a full workload unless Miami decides to give him the night off.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Max Strus - Probable vs. Spurs Strus (shoulder) is probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Strus continues to deal with a right shoulder impingement, but it shouldn't prevent him from playing. Over the past six games, he's averaged 11.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 29.2 minutes.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jimmy Butler - Likely to play against Spurs Butler is probable to play in Saturday's game versus the Spurs due to right knee injury management.

Impact The Heat are being cautious with Butler's knee injury, but he is still expected to play Saturday. The star forward has averaged 34 minutes over his last three games, so fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his workload against the Spurs.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Lowry - Off injury report Lowry (rest) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Impact As expected, Lowry will be back after a one-game absence for rest. Over the past 10 games, the veteran has averaged 15.6 points, 6.8 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 37.8 minutes.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Nikola Jovic - Sent to G League Jovic was assigned to the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Friday, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Jovic saw a starting role for Miami over six games in November, but he's split time between the G League and the parent club in early December. The 19-year-old hasn't seen much run in the NBA recently, but his move to the G League should allow him to see more playing time.
