McConnell (hamstring) is good to go for Friday's game versus the Knicks, Jared Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

McConnell is back after a two-game absence, which will likely translate to fewer minutes for Ben Sheppard and Kam Jones. McConnell is averaging 9.3 points, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season.

Nembhard (back/neck) will play in Friday's game against the Knicks, Jared Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Nembhard has been a mainstay on the injury report of late due to neck and lower-back soreness, though he'll shed his questionable tag Friday. The 26-year-old guard logged just 17 minutes in Thursday's loss to Phoenix and may remain limited in the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Towns was initially listed as questionable for Friday's game due to knee soreness. He was downgraded to doubtful before being ruled out, and his next chance to play is Sunday against the Warriors. Mitchell Robinson will likely enter the starting lineup at center in Towns' absence.

Zubac (ankle) will play Friday versus the Knicks, Jared Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Zubac was held out of the second half of Thursday's game to have him available for both legs of the back-to-back set, and it'll be interesting to see if he's cleared for both halves Friday evening. With Zubac active, Jay Huff could be relegated to minutes in the teens.

Nesmith (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks, Jared Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Nesmith did not play in Thursday's loss to the Suns while managing a right ankle injury. He's been given the green light to play Friday, and his return will likely result in Ethan Thompson reverting to a bench role. In his last appearance Tuesday against the Kings, Nesmith finished with 29 points, four rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers over 35 minutes.

Murray-Boyles (thumb) has been ruled out for Friday's game versus Phoenix, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Murray-Boyles was initially listed as doubtful for Friday's game, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be watching from the sidelines. Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely continue to see extended minutes with Murray-Boyles out.

Barnes (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Suns, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Barnes will shed his questionable tag due to an illness and suit up Friday. The star forward will hope to bounce back after a lackluster offensive performance in Wednesday's loss to New Orleans, during which he posted nine points on 4-of-14 shooting from the field. In five March games, Barnes has averaged 16.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.8 minutes per contest.

Jovic (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Magic.

Jovic hasn't played since Feb. 20 due to low back injury management. The Heat haven't provided many details regarding where exactly Jovic stands in the recovery process, but the Serbian big man seems unlikely to reclaim a rotation spot once he's finally cleared to play.

Smith is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Magic due to a right hip contusion.

The right hip issue is a new concern for Smith, who has seen increased playing time of late due to Norman Powell (groin) being sidelined. The probable tag suggests Smith is on track to play Saturday, though he'd likely see a dip in minutes if Powell is upgraded from questionable to available after missing the Heat's last seven games.

Powell (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic.

Powell will aim to end a seven-game absence due to a right groin strain after being upgraded to questionable for Saturday's contest. If the veteran swingman is cleared to return, there would be fewer minutes available for the likes of Kasparas Jakucionis, Dru Smith (hip) and Simone Fontecchio.
