Markieff Morris - Doesn't travel with team to BostonMorris (conditioning) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Boston, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ImpactMorris has been sidelined since Nov. 8. First, he was out due to a neck injury suffered during a blindside blow from Nikola Jokic, but more recently, he's been absence due to a stint in COVID-19 protocols. Reynolds reports that Morris didn't travel with the team to Boston, which rules him out for at least one more game. However, the matchup with the Celtics begins a six-game road trip for Miami, so the veteran forward may be sidelined until the Heat return home Feb. 12.

KZ Okpala - Won't play MondayOkpala (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Jimmy Butler - Gets questionable tag for MondayThe Heat list Butler as questionable for Monday's game in Boston with a sprained right ankle.
ImpactButler likely picked up the injury at some point during Saturday's 124-120 triple-overtime loss to the Raptors, but it ultimately didn't prevent him from logging huge minutes (52 minutes) or delivering big production (37 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and two blocks). Adrenaline may have carried Butler through the game, however, and in what's been a familiar refrain this season, his health is now in question as the Heat prepare for a four-game week. Considering Monday marks the front end of a back-to-back set, Butler's absence in Boston wouldn't be that surprising even if the Heat don't view his ankle injury as a major concern.

Kyle Lowry - Remains out MondayLowry (personal) won't play Monday against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ImpactLowry will miss his eighth straight game Monday due to a personal matter. Miami starts a six-game road trip Monday in Boston, and it remains unclear if the point guard will be able to join the team for any of those contests. In his absence, Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro and Kyle Guy are all expected to continue seeing increased roles.
