• Heat's Simone Fontecchio: Plays just eight minutes in loss

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Fontecchio registered zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and two assists over eight minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic. Fontecchio's role has shrunk considerably over the last few weeks, as he has registered only one double-digit scoring performance in his last nine games. He also hasn't been shooting the ball well, averaging just 7.2 points on 31.0 percent from the field and 1.2 threes on a 20.8 percent clip in that span. Still, the sharpshooter is shooting 37.0 percent from beyond the arc on the season, so expect him to get his shooting numbers back on track in the future if he is given the opportunity to do so.

  Fontecchio totaled 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 26 minutes during Saturday's 127-111 loss to the Kings.

Fontecchio has seen the floor in four straight games, averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 21.0 minutes per contest during that span.
