Anderson (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat.
As expected, Anderson will ditch his probable tag due to a left ankle sprain. He's averaging 1.0 points, 2.0 assists and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks while shooting 12.5 percent from the field in 14.5 minutes per game across two regular-season outings, and he'll likely continue to back up Dennis Schroder until Coby White (calf) returns.
