Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Gets light run in return
Rotowire
Jaquez (ankle) tallied four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across 10 minutes in Friday's 106-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Jaquez returned from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Still, he was unable to capture a major role even while Miami was without three other rotation players in Andrew Wiggins (ankle), Alec Burks (back) and Kel'el Ware (knee). If at least one or two of those players are back in action for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Jaquez could be at risk of dropping out of the rotation.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Exits early with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Jaquez has been ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain.
Jaquez sprained the ankle early in the third quarter and was helped off the floor before going to the locker room. X-rays on his ankle came back negative, but the sprain is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Friday's contest, and it puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Knicks. The second-year wing started in place of Andrew Wiggins (ankle) and recorded 11 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes prior to his departure.

Rotowire
Jaquez (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
After missing Monday's game against the Celtics, Jaquez remains iffy to suit up for the Heat on Wednesday due to an illness.
