Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Will not play Monday
Jaquez (ankle) will not play Monday against the 76ers.
Jaquez suffered a right ankle sprain Sunday against the Pacers and was unable to return, and he said after that contest that he expects to miss some time. With Terry Rozier (foot) also out Monday, Jimmy Butler (ankle) will likely see heavy usage in his return from a four-game absence. Duncan Robinson and Josh Richardson could be more involved as well.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: X-rays negative on ankle
Jaquez told reporters after Sunday's 119-110 loss to the Heat that he expects to miss time due to a right ankle sprain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
The good news for Jaquez is X-rays didn't reveal any further damage to his right ankle. He'll likely be sidelined for Monday's contest against the 76ers, but the Heat's following game doesn't take place until Sunday, Nov. 24 against the Mavericks, so the second-year forward may just miss one game as a result. Jaquez's absence opens the door for more playing time off the bench for Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Josh Richardson, and Alec Burks may also join the rotation after being a healthy DNP for the Heat's last five games (including Sunday's loss).

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Won't return Sunday
Jaquez has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Jaquez rolled his right ankle late in the third quarter after stepping on T.J. McConnell, and he will not return for the fourth quarter. Given the Heat play Monday against the 76ers, it seems unlikely Jaquez will be able to play in the second leg of the back-to-back. Josh Richardson, Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic are candidates to see more minutes off the bench with Jaquez sidelined.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Playing through hip tightness
Jaquez is listed as available for Sunday's game versus the Pacers despite dealing with right hip flexor tightness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Jaquez appears to have tweaked his hip flexor against Indiana on Friday but won't miss Sunday's contest. Over his last five appearances, the second-year forward is averaging 9.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.6 minutes.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Efficient in defeat
Jaquez logged 14 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-121 overtime loss to the Pistons.
The 23-year-old led the bench in scoring alongside Duncan Robinson, and Jaquez was efficient while stuffing the stat sheet. The forward could see an uptick in minutes if Nikola Jovic (nose) misses additional time, though he will have to compete for the starting spot with Robinson. Through seven regular-season outings, Jaquez has averaged 9.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 46.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Low minutes in return
Jaquez (illness) played 16 minutes off the bench and finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in Sunday's 95-94 win over the Timberwolves.
Making his return from a three-game absence due to an illness, Jaquez's minutes were held in check even though the Heat were without starting small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle). The Heat are seemingly viewing Butler as day-to-day, and so long as Butler avoids an extended absence, Jaquez may not see his playing time increase dramatically in the games to come.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Good to go vs. Minnesota
Jaquez (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Jaquez has missed the Heat's last three games due to an illness, but he will suit up Sunday after regaining his conditioning, though he will operate under a minute restriction, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Jaquez came off Miami's bench in the first five games of the regular season prior to his illness, during which he averaged 9.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 25.2 minutes per game.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Questionable to play Sunday
Jaquez (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
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.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Remains sidelined
Jaquez (illness) will not play in Friday's game against the Nuggets, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Jaquez's absence will mark his third straight, as he looks to return from an illness. He participated at shootaround earlier in the day, which was a promising sign, but it looks like the Heat will hold him out one more game in order to get his conditioning back up to par. In Jaquez's absence, the likes of Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks and Haywood Highsmith could absorb his usual minutes.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Participates at shootaround Friday
Jaquez (conditioning), who is questionable for Friday's game against Denver, was an active participant during shootaround Friday morning, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Jaquez missed the club's last two games due to an illness, and he is questionable as the club tests his conditioning for a return to game action. However, the 23-year-old's participation at shootaround bodes well for his status. If Jaquez isn't able to return Friday, Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks and Haywood Highsmith are all candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Iffy for Friday
Jaquez (conditioning) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jaquez missed the club's last two games due to an illness, though he is trending in the right direction as he will attempt to regain his conditioning before Friday. If the 23-year-old forward is not ready for a return to game action, Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks and Haywood Highsmith are all candidates for an increased role.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Won't play Wednesday
Jaquez (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.
Jaquez is dealing with a stomach illness and will miss his second straight contest. His next chance to play will be Friday against the Nuggets. Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks, Josh Richardson and Pelle Larsson are candidates to see increased run in the meantime.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Downgraded to out
Jaquez (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jaquez was a late addition to the injury report due to a stomach illness and will ultimately miss his first game of the season. He's averaged 25.2 minutes per game off the bench over his first five appearances. In Jaquez's absence, Kevin Love, who's cleared to make his season debut after missing time due to personal reasons, could enter the rotation, or Jaquez's missing minutes could be dished out to a few players, including Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks, Josh Richardson and rookie Pelle Larsson.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Questionable for Monday
Jaquez is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings with a stomach illness.
Jaquez was a very late addition to Miami's injury report which isn't a good sign. If he's unable to give it a go Monday, the Heat could turn to Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks and Josh Richardson to pick up the slack.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Grabs 10 boards vs. Washington
Jaquez ended Saturday's 118-98 victory over Washington with eight points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.
Jaquez was the Heat's second-leading rebounder Saturday behind Bam Adebayo (14). Jaquez has seen consistent playing time off Miami's bench, and he should continue to provide some decent, all-around fantasy value while playing a complimentary role alongside Adebayo, Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Plays 22 minutes in win
Jaquez logged six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 victory over the Hornets.
After averaging 28.2 minutes per game as a rookie, Jaquez has played 19 and 22 minutes, respectively, through the first two games this season. His all-around game is conducive to strong fantasy performances when he's afforded extended minutes, but given his current role, it'll be difficult for him to be fantasy-relevant in standard leagues.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Productive off bench Tuesday
Jaquez scored 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-8 FT) while adding six rebounds, five assists and a steal in 18 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-117 preseason win over the Spurs.
The UCLA product is coming off an impressive rookie season, so Tuesday's strong per-minute production is no surprise. It's still not clear exactly how Jaquez will fit into the bench puzzle for the Heat, but he seems likely to form the core of the second unit alongside Duncan Robinson and offseason acquisition Alec Burks, who both saw similar workloads Tuesday.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Six points in return Sunday
Jaquez totaled six points (3-6 FG, 0-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 17 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason win over the Pelicans.
Jaquez had a decent return to action after missing time with a groin strain. The 23-year-old did shoot 0-for-4 from the charity stripe, though he shot 81.1 percent from the free-throw line last season, so it should not be too much of a cause for concern. The second-year forward will likely serve as the primary backup to Nikola Jovic and Jimmy Butler. Jaquez is expected to be one of the club's top reserves alongside Haywood Highsmith and Kevin Love.
