Sidelined for opener Yurtseven (ankle) will not take the floor Wednesday versus the Bulls.

Impact Yurtseven hasn't been practicing of late, so it seemed like a longshot he would be available for the opener. He indeed will sit out the affair and will look toward Friday against the Celtics for his next chance at a regular-season debut.

Still not practicing Yurtseven (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Yurtseven continues to be sidelined due to left ankle soreness and appears unlikely to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Bulls. If he's sidelined, Dewayne Dedmon would operate as the top big man behind Bam Adebayo.

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.

Starting Tuesday Yurtseven will start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Timberwolves, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Yurtseven is competing for a starting job this season.

The young big man will likely have to provide solid floor spacing to make this frontcourt pairing work.
