MIAMI HEAT NEWS

Cole Swider - Rejoins Miami, available Wednesday Swider has rejoined the Heat on their road trip and will be available for Wednesday's game in Cleveland, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact With Duncan Robinson (back) joining Tyler Herro (foot), Josh Richardson (shoulder) and Kevin Love (heel) on the sidelines, Swider will serve as emergency depth for the Heat during their final matchup of a four-game road trip. Swider hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Feb. 26.

Kevin Love - Out again Wednesday Love (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Love has been sidelined since Feb. 27. Wednesday's contest concludes a four-game road trip, so the veteran's next chance to suit up will come in Miami against the Pelicans on Friday. However, the team hasn't updated his expected return timetable.

Nikola Jovic - Iffy against Cleveland Jovic (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jovic is in danger of missing his third straight contest Wednesday due to a right hamstring strain. However, it is a good sign that the 20-year-old big man is initially being listed as questionable instead of out. If Jovic is unable to suit, Haywood Highsmith will likely continue to start.

Jimmy Butler - Questionable for Wednesday Butler (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Butler has missed back-to-back games due to a foot issue and is listed as questionable again. If the star forward is sidelined, Jaime Jaquez, Haywood Highsmith and Caleb Martin would be candidates for increased roles, especially with Duncan Robinson joining Tyler Herro (foot) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) on the sidelines for an extended period.

Duncan Robinson - Won't play Wednesday Robinson (back) will be unavailable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Robinson was forced to exit Monday's game after 24 minutes of action, and he appears to be dealing with more than a minor tweak upon being ruled out more than a full day in advance of Wednesday's contest. It's unfortunate timing for the 29-year-old, who has rained in 46 points, fueled by 11 made threes, across his last two healthy appearances. Miami's rotation is currently in flux with Jimmy Butler (foot) questionable to play Wednesday.

Delon Wright - Leads bench in assists Wright totaled one point (0-4 FG, 1-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 98-91 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Since being bought out by the Wizards on Feb. 16, Wright has appeared in five games for Miami, averaging 4.4 points, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 18.4 minutes. Despite a rough night from the field, the veteran still managed to lead the bench unit in assists. Expect the 31-year-old to receive playing time if Duncan Robinson (back) is forced to miss additional time on top of injuries to Tyler Herro (foot) and Josh Richardson (shoulder).

Why no shots for Bam Adebayo in Monday's fourth quarter? Also, Kyle Lowry on facing Heat and more Heat All-Star Bam Adebayo didn’t take a shot in Monday’s fourth quarter. Why?

Thomas Bryant - Active off bench in loss Bryant accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 98-91 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Even though Bam Adebayo was Miami's best player in this game, Bryant found a way to make his presence felt, particularly on offense. That said, he's not going to see many minutes on a regular basis going forward, meaning his upside will be limited even if he has productive outings such as Monday's.

Bam Adebayo - Efficient double-double Monday Adebayo registered 20 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and six assists across 32 minutes during Monday's 98-91 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Even though the Heat ended up losing this one, Adebayo was excellent on both ends of the court, missing just two shots from the field and racking up his 35th double-double of the season. The star big man also has four double-doubles over his last five appearances while averaging 17.2 points and 11.2 rebounds per game since the beginning of March. Don't be surprised if Adebayo experiences an uptick in usage rate against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, especially if Jimmy Butler (foot) is sidelined once again.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Terry Rozier - Comes close to double-double Rozier registered 20 points (8-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 98-91 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Rozier finished just two rebounds shy of recording a double-double, though he'd be more likely to reach that feat with assists rather than boards on a regular basis. The veteran point guard had to take on a bigger responsibility on offense with Jimmy Butler (foot) sidelined, which resulted in Rozier reaching the 20-point mark for just the third time since joining Miami in late January. He's averaging 15.3 points per game in 21 appearances with the Heat.
