Caleb Martin - Participates in practice Tuesday Martin (knee) practiced Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Martin didn't play in Monday's exhibition game against Houston due to a knee issue, but the injury doesn't appear to be severe as he's returned to practice just a day after his absence. He'll have one more opportunity -- Wednesday against the Pelicans -- to play in the preseason before the Heat opens the regular season against the Bulls on Oct. 19.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Back in action Tuesday Herro practiced Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Herro and numerous teammates didn't play in Monday's exhibition game against Houston. However, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year doesn't appear to be dealing with a significant injury. He should be available for Miami's regular-season opener against the Bulls on Oct. 19.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Practices Tuesday Butler practiced Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Butler and most of Miami's regulars got the night off during Monday's exhibition against the Rockets. However, the superstar forward doesn't appear to be dealing with a substantial injury, so he's still on track to be available for the regular-season opener against the Bulls on Oct. 19.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Lowry - Back at practice Tuesday Lowry practiced Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Lowry and numerous teammates rested during Monday's exhibition against the Grizzlies but returned to practice Tuesday. It's unclear if the veteran point guard will suit up for Wednesday's preseason finale, but there's been no indication he'll miss the regular-season opener against the Bulls on Oct. 19.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Given day off Tuesday Adebayo (knee/rest) didn't practice Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Adebayo didn't play Monday due to a right knee contusion, marking his second straight absence, and given his inactivity Tuesday, he's unlikely to suit up for Wednesday's preseason finale. The extent of the knee issue remains unclear, but there's been no indication that it could impact his availability for the start of the regular season.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Omer Yurtseven - Doesn't practice Tuesday Yurtseven (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Yurtseven missed a third straight preseason game Monday due to an ankle injury and was one of three Heat players not to practice Tuesday. Given his inactivity, it's unlikely Yurtseven will play in Miami's preseason finale Wednesday, which would make his next chance to suit up the season opener against the Bulls on Oct. 19.

Marcus Garrett - Suffers wrist fracture Garrett will miss at least four weeks after suffering a fractured right wrist, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Garrett's absence shouldn't mean a ton from a fantasy perspective, but it will leave the Heat down some potential bench depth to open the season. Garrett is on a two-way contract with the team and may return to the G League initially when healthy.

Jamal Cain - Continues strong preseason Cain totaled 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes in a 118-110 preseason win over Houston on Monday.
Impact Cain led all players with 31 minutes in the contest and put up another strong stat line, tying for second on the team with 15 points and adding six boards. The 23-year-old had his Exhibit 10 deal converted to a two-way contract Sunday, a strong indication that Miami is pleased with what it has seen from him so far. Cain has scored at least 15 points and grabbed at least six rebounds in each of his past three preseason games.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jovic - Double-double in preseason action Jovic recorded 15 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 23 minutes Monday in a 118-110 preseason victory versus the Rockets.
Impact Jovic flashed the all-around skill set that makes him an intriguing young prospect, leading Miami in rebounds and tying for the lead in assists while also putting up 15 points. The rookie big man struggled a bit with his shot, converting just two of eight three-point tries, but his positive overall impact was evident as the Heat outscored Houston by 24 points while he was on the floor. Jovic has increased his scoring and rebounding output in each of his first four preseason contests and looks to be quickly adjusting to the NBA game.
OCTOBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Max Strus - Red hot in preseason win Strus tallied 24 points (7-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes in Monday's preseason 118-110 win over Houston.
Impact Strus was on fire in the first half, scoring 21 points and knocking down four shots from deep. He slowed down after halftime but still led Miami with 24 points and five triples. The sharpshooter emerged as a major weapon for the Heat last season, averaging career-best marks of 10.6 points and 2.7 three-pointers while shooting 41 percent from beyond the arc. His limited skill set makes him a borderline roster option in fantasy, but Monday's performance was a reminder of how prolific he can be when he gets hot from deep.
