Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Questionable to play Sunday Jaquez (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact While the Heat have labelled Jaquez's injury as an illness, the second-year forward is working on his return to competition conditioning. He doesn't have a timetable for his return, and if he doesn't play Sunday, that will mark his fourth straight absence.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Ruled out against Minnesota Butler (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game versus the TImberwolves, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Butler will miss his first game of the season Sunday due to a sprained right ankle he suffered against Denver. In the star forward's absence, Jaime Jaquez (illness), Haywood Highsmith, Pelle Larson and Duncan Robinson are all candidates to receive increased playing time. Butler's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Detroit.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Available to play Sunday Love (not injury related) is not on the injury report and is available to make his season debut Sunday against the Timberwolves, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Love has yet to play this season due to personal reasons, but the veteran forward is expected to suit up Sunday. He should add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt, though he's not likely to play a sizable role off the bench.

Josh Richardson - Season-high performance in loss Richardson recorded 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and four steals over 21 minutes during Friday's 135-122 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Richardson scored his first points of the season in his third appearance, and set season-high marks in points, assists and steals during Friday's loss. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the game early, and if he's forced to miss time, Richardson would likely have increased responsibilities, though he may still be on a minute restriction after missing the start of the season due to a shoulder injury.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Haywood Highsmith - Season-high 35 minutes Highsmith finished Friday's 135-122 loss to Denver with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and two assists over 35 minutes.
Impact Highsmith and Pelle Larsson started the second half in place of Nikola Jovic and Jimmy Butler (ankle). Butler didn't return to the game, but Jovic had a productive second half off the bench. If Butler misses time, Highsmith's path to consistent playing time would be wide open. Highsmith has played at least 31 minutes in back-to-back games, totaling 35 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals during those contests.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Duncan Robinson - Season-high 20 points in loss Robinson finished Friday's 135-122 loss to the Nuggets with 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes.
Impact Robinson set season highs in made field goals, made three-pointers and points during Friday's loss while playing at least 20 minutes for just the second time this year. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the contest early, and if he misses time, Robinson may have increased offensive responsibilities moving forward.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Nikola Jovic - Modest production in loss Jovic finished with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals in 20 minutes during Friday's 135-122 loss to Denver.
Impact After playing only seven minutes as a starter in the first half, Jovic was benched to start the second half. However, that didn't stop him from being productive, as he recorded seven points, three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 13 minutes during the second half. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the game early, and if he misses time, the Heat will need Jovic to be more aggressive offensively.
NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Season-high 11 assists Herro chipped in 24 points (10-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt), seven rebounds and 11 assists across 40 minutes during Friday's 135-122 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Herro recorded season highs in assists and rebounds while scoring at least 24 points for a third straight game. During that stretch, he's averaged 26.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 36.3 minutes per game. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the contest early, and if he's forced to miss time, Herro would likely take over as Miami's go-to offensive player.
