Heat's Jaime Jaquez: X-rays negative on ankle
Jaquez told reporters after Sunday's 119-110 loss to the Miami 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

McConnell, and he will not return for the fourth quarter. Given the Miami Heat play Monday against the 76ers, it seems unlikely Jaquez will be able to play in the second leg of the back-to-back.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Efficient in defeat

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 Miami 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.
