MIAMI HEAT NEWS

Caleb Martin - Officially ruled out Martin (ankle) will not play Monday against the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Martin will miss his third straight game, joining Jimmy Butler (foot) as inactive while Miami squares off against a wing-centric Clippers' lineup. Martin carried a doubtful designation throughout Monday, which likely makes him questionable to play Wednesday against the Lakers.

Josh Richardson - Absence continues Monday Richardson (back) is out Monday against the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Richardson will miss his fourth straight game due to back spasms, with his next opportunity to take the court coming Wednesday against the Lakers. Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry (head) and Duncan Robinson are the only traditional guards healthy for Miami on Monday.

Kyle Lowry - Cleared to play Lowry (head) will play Monday night against the Clippers.

Impact Lowry was held out of his team's last two contests while recovering from a head injury, but he'll presumably slot back in as the Heat's starting point guard Monday. R.J. Hampton should move back to a bench role with Lowry cleared to return.

Cole Swider - Will be available Monday Swider is available for Monday's game against the Clippers after being elevated from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce.

Impact The Heat have already ruled Jimmy Butler (foot) and Haywood Highsmith (concussion) out, while Kyle Lowry (head), Josh Richardson (back) and Caleb Martin (ankle) all have injury designations, so Swider and Orlando Robinson have been elevated for the New Year's Day matchup. Swider has made four NBA appearances this season, averaging 4.5 points in 7.5 minutes per game.

Orlando Robinson - Rejoins Heat The Heat recalled Robinson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Monday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Miami is going to be shorthanded for Monday's game against the Clippers, so Robinson will provide some depth at the end of the bench. Robinson has made 13 appearances for Miami this season with averages of 6.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 16.2 minutes.

Haywood Highsmith - Lands in concussion protocol Highsmith was placed in concussion protocol Monday and will miss the remainder of Miami's current road trip, which ends Friday in Phoenix, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald report...

Impact Highsmith will miss at least the next three games, making a Jan. 8 home matchup versus the Rockets his next chance to suit up. Miami's rotation has been in flux all season, so Highsmith's absence should open up a few extra minutes for guys like Kevin Love, Nikola Jovic and Orlando Robinson.

Josh Richardson - Listed as questionable Richardson (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Clippers.

Impact Richardson has missed the past three games for Miami and remains day-to-day. Jimmy Butler (foot) has already been ruled out, while Kyle Lowry (head) is considered questionable. If Richardson is unable to play, the Heat will likely continue to heavily rely on Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Haywood Highsmith - Listed as doubtful for Monday Highsmith is doubtful for Monday's game against the Clippers due to a jaw contusion.

Impact Miami has yet another lengthy injury report, and it appears that Caleb Martin (ankle) is also expected to sit out Monday's game. The Heat could turn to Kevin Love or Nikola Jovic to pick up the small handful of minutes that Haywood usually sees.

Caleb Martin - Doubtful for Monday Martin (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Martin has been carrying doubtful tags since picking up his sprained ankle on Christmas. With Martin expected to miss a third straight game and with Haywood Highsmith considered doubtful with a jaw contusion, the Heat could turn to Kevin Love or Nikola Jovic to pick up some minutes.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Lowry - Questionable for Monday Lowry (head) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Lowry has missed the past two games for Miami and remains day-to-day. It's worth noting that he cleared all his concussion tests, and the Heat are calling his injury a contusion. If Lowry is unable to play, the Heat will likely let Tyler Herro run the bulk of their offense with R.J. Hampton playing just eight minutes in a start against the Jazz on Saturday.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jimmy Butler - Won't play Monday Butler will not play in Monday's game against the Clippers due to right foot irritation, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Butler suffered the foot injury during Saturday's game versus Utah and was unable to return to the game. X-rays came back negative, but he'll miss at least one game for Miami. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Lakers. With Kyle Lowry (head) and Josh Richardson (back) considered questionable, Tyler Herro could see a ton of usage for the Heat and Jaime Jaquez and Duncan Robinson could see increased roles.

Kevin Love - Modest production off bench Love finished Saturday's 117-109 loss to the Jazz with 12 points (4-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes.

Impact Love launched eight three-point attempts over 20 minutes as a reserve, but he made just two of those shots. It wasn't the most efficient outing by the veteran center, but it did allow him to reach double-digit scoring for the first time over his past five games. Love's minutes and production have fluctuated throughout the campaign, and he finished December with six games of digit-scoring and six games of single-digit point production. As a whole, he averaged 11.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.4 three-pointers and 0.6 steals across 12 contests during the month.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Herro - Drops 25 points in defeat Herro amassed 25 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Herro wasn't shy about shooting the rock Saturday, as he attempted a team-high 22 field-goal attempts. In that context, his 25 points wasn't ultra impressive, but the fifth-year guard helped keep the game close after Jimmy Butler departed with a foot injury in the third quarter. Herro has played six contests since returning from an ankle injury that resulted in an 18-game absence, and he's scored at least 22 points in every outing since his return. During the six-game stretch, he's averaged 26.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 3.5 triples and 1.0 steals over 35.2 minutes.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bam Adebayo - Posts big numbers despite loss Adebayo closed Saturday's 117-109 loss to the Jazz with 28 points (7-13 FG, 14-20 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals over 36 minutes.

Impact Adebayo led all players in the contest in points, rebounds and blocks, finishing with his fourth straight double-double. This was his sixth game back after missing seven straight contests due to a hip injury, and he's been very productive since his return, averaging 21.5 points, 11.0 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 steals over 35.2 minutes. Jimmy Butler departed Saturday's game with a foot injury, and if he needs to miss time, Adebayo figures to take on even a more central role in the Heat's offense.
