Top Heat News

  • Heat's Davion Mitchell: Iffy for Sunday

    Mitchell (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

    Mitchell remains day-to-day after missing Friday's game against Boston. If he's unable to return to action, Kasparas Jakucionis could get another extended look after a productive outing Friday with 17 points in 36 minutes.

  • Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Iffy for Sunday

    Wiggins (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

    Wiggins sat out Friday against the Boston, his first absence since Nov. 24. The forward remains day-to-day, and the team could evaluate him after shootaround or warmups before a final decision is made. If he can't go, guys like Jaime Jaquez and Kel'el Ware could be more involved for Miami.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Heat's Tyler Herro: Still sidelined

    Herro (toe) won't play in Sunday's game against the Knicks.

    Herro will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a toe injury. The standout guard is still considered day-to-day, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against Toronto. Jaime Jaquez, Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis are all candidates to see expanded roles Sunday.

  • Heat's Norman Powell: Off night from deep

    Powell registered 18 points (7-21 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Miami's 129-116 loss to Boston on Friday.

    Powell finished as Miami's second-leading scorer, but he accounted for 10 of the Heat's 30 missed three-pointers Friday, which was his most in a game since March 10, 2024, against the Bucks as a member of the Clippers (11 missed threes). Despite this off night, Powell has been the Heat's go-to option on offense in games when Tyler Herro (toe) hasn't played, and that shouldn't change for Sunday's road tilt against the Knicks if Herro remains out.

  • Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Scores 17 points in first NBA start

    Jakucionis tallied 17 points (5-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during the Heat's 129-116 win over the Celtics on Friday.

    Jakucionis made his first NBA start Friday due to the absences of Davion Mitchell (ankle) and Tyler Herro (toe). Jakucionis took advantage of the opportunity, showing activity on the glass (five of his six rebounds came on the offensive side of the floor) while doing most of his scoring damage from beyond the arc. He was also the only Miami starter to finish with a positive point differential (plus-3). Jakucionis could remain in the starting lineup against the Knicks on Sunday if Mitchell and Herro are unable to play.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Heat's Kel'el Ware: Another double-double Friday

    Ware tallied 24 points (8-12 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during the Heat's 129-116 loss to the Celtics on Friday.

    Ware started a second straight game, and in each of those starts he has posted a 20-point double-double. He ended up leading the Heat in both scoring and rebounding (with five of his 14 boards coming off the offensive glass), and he set a career high with six three-pointers. Ware will likely start against the Knicks on Sunday if Andrew Wiggins (back) is not cleared to play.

  • Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Starting Friday

    Jaquez is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    With Tyler Herro (toe), Andrew Wiggins (back), Pelle Larsson (ankle) and Davion Mitchell (ankle) all unavailable Friday night, Jaquez will draw his first start of the season, and he should see a lot of playmaking opportunities. Per 36 minutes this year, Jaquez owns averages of 19.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists per contest.

  • Heat's Kasparas Jakucionis: Making first career start Friday

    Jakucionis is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Celtics on Friday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    The rookie first-rounder has appeared in just two regular-season games for the Heat while spending most of the season either shelved due to a groin injury or in the G League with the Sioux Falls Skyforce. However, Jakucionis will make his first career NBA start Friday due to the absences of Davion Mitchell (ankle) and Tyler Herro (toe) while Dru Smith comes off the bench. In the G League, Jakucionis has averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.8 threes and 2.5 steals over 26.8 minutes per game.

  • Heat's Davion Mitchell: Not playing Friday

    Mitchell (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Mitchell was initially listed as probable for Friday's contest. His sprained left ankle is severe enough to sideline him against Boston, though he could be available for Sunday's road contest against New York. With Mitchell and Tyler Herro (toe) both sidelined, the Heat will insert Kasparas Jakucionis into the starting lineup.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Ruled out Friday

    Wiggins (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.

    Wiggins is dealing with lower-back pain and will miss the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set, marking his first absence since Nov. 24. With the veteran forward sidelined, Jaime Jaquez, Simone Fontecchio and Kel'el Ware are candidates for increased minutes. Wiggins' next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the Knicks.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Heat's Davion Mitchell: Downgraded to questionable

    Mitchell (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against Boston.

    Mitchell was previously listed as probable, so this is a troubling update for his fantasy managers. If Mitchell is unable to go, Dru Smith could potentially take over as the starter with Kasparas Jakucionis behind him.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Heat's Pelle Larsson: Remains listed as out

    Larsson is out for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a sprained left ankle.

    The Heat announced Dec. 10 that Larsson could miss up to two weeks with the injury, so it seems fair to label him as week-to-week. Until Miami updates Larsson's timetable for a return, Simone Fontecchio has one less obstacle to overcome for playing time in the frontcourt.

  • Heat's Davion Mitchell: Probable with ankle sprain

    Mitchell is probable for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a sprained left ankle.

    With Tyler Herro (toe) already ruled out, Mitchell is in position to handle the bulk of the ball-handling duties Friday. Over 20 games without Herro available this season, Mitchell has averaged 10.5 points, 7.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29.9 minutes per game.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Questionable against Boston

    Wiggins (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics.

    Wiggins is dealing with a bout of lower-back pain after posting 10 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Thursday's win in Brooklyn. If the veteran forward needs to sit out, Kel'el Ware and Jaime Jaquez would be in line to see extra minutes at power forward.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Heat's Tyler Herro: Another absence coming

    Herro (toe) will not play against Boston on Friday.

    Herro will be sidelined for a third straight game Friday. The Heat have labeled the star guard as day-to-day, so fantasy managers can consider him questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Scores 19 points off bench

    Jaquez amassed 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Thursday's 106-95 win over the Nets.

    With Tyler Herro (toe) sidelined, Jaquez has seen his minutes in the mid-30s and has been a larger part of the offense. If Herro can't give it a go Friday in Boston, Jaquez should again see a bump in minutes and usage, which would put him on the radar as a potential target in daily fantasy leagues.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Heat's Norman Powell: Nets 24 points with three steals

    Powell posted 24 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 106-95 victory over the Nets.

    Powell had a tough time getting his shot to drop during Monday's loss to the Raptors, but he was hot from the jump in this one, drilling his first five field-goal attempts and closing out the first half by nailing an incredible, one-handed, running half-court heave. The 32-year-old veteran finished with a team-best plus-14 differential and helped the Heat hit the brakes on a five-game skid.
