Heat's Kel'el Ware: Assigned to G League Friday
Ware was assigned to the Heat's G League affiliate and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Suns.
Ware will return to the G League, and he hasn't played in an NBA game since Nov. 27 due in part to right foot tendinitis. However, the rookie has been cleared to play and is expected to suit up for the Sioux Falls Skyforce's next matchup against the Grand Rapids Gold on Sunday.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Iffy for Saturday with ankle sprain
Larsson sustained a right ankle sprain during Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.
Larsson is questionable to suit up while he deals with a right ankle sprain, though the recency of the injury could lead to him sitting in his first game since Nov. 17. The rookie is slowly carving out a role with the Heat, and in his last five outings he averaged 5.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 16.4 minutes per game.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Likely in for Saturday
Butler (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Suns.
After missing a matchup due to a right knee injury, Butler returned to game action during Wednesday's win over the Lakers, in which he supplied 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 29 minutes. The star forward is back on the injury report due to right knee soreness, though he is expected to play. Butler has appeared in four of the Heat's last five outings, during which he averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals across 30.5 minutes per contest.

Heat's Pelle Larsson: Turns ankle in practice Friday
Larsson turned his ankle in Friday's practice, and his status for Saturday's game against the Suns will be updated after he undergoes testing, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Larsson's status will remain something to monitor as the club is expected to provide an update Friday. However, he should be considered questionable at best for Saturday until that update comes. The rookie has played double-digit minutes in each of the Heat's last seven outings, during which he averaged 7.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 20.0 minutes per contest.

Heat's Keshad Johnson: Makes second career appearance
Johnson provided two rebounds in six minutes during Wednesday's 134-93 win over the Lakers.
Johnson suited up for just the second time in his young career, albeit for just six minutes during garbage time. While he has been putting up encouraging numbers in the G League, it took two blowouts for Johnson to enter the rotation. At this point, it appears as though he is going to continue to be someone who is utilized sparingly while up with the Heat.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Shooting woes continue
Robinson finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 134-93 win over the Lakers.
Robinson started for the eighth straight game, but he once again struggled to get anything going on the offensive end of the floor. Despite starting, his playing time has been more like that of a bench player, exceeding 30 minutes only twice in the eight-game stretch of starts. Robinson remains a viable perimeter threat, albeit one who has seen his consistency fall off in recent seasons.

Heat's Thomas Bryant: Garbage-time special Wednesday
Bryant notched eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks in nine minutes during Wednesday's 134-93 win over the Lakers.
Bryant dusted himself off and moved into the rotation, albeit during the final minutes of a 40-point blowout. After starting the season as the backup behind Bam Adebayo, Bryant has since struggled to be an every-night part of the rotation. At this point, it would likely take an injury to Adebayo for Bryant to even come close to being a noteworthy asset.

Heat's Josh Richardson: Good to go
Richardson (heel) is available for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Richardson was questionable for the contest due to left heel soreness, but he's feeling well enough to suit up. Richardson hasn't taken the court since Nov. 18 and isn't locked into a rotation spot.

Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Moving back to bench Wednesday
Jaquez is not starting Wednesday against the Lakers.
Jaquez will return to the bench due to the return of Jimmy Butler following a one-game absence. Jaquez is averaging 8.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game off the bench this season.

Heat's Kevin Love: Good to go Wednesday
Love (back) will play Wednesday versus the Lakers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Love ascended to probable Wednesday morning, and he will officially suit up Wednesday night. The 36-year-old has averaged 5.4 points and 5.8 rebounds despite shooting just 25.0 percent from the field across his last five contests.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Cleared to play Wednesday
Jovic (ankle) will play Wednesday versus the Lakers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jovic returns from a two-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, but he wasn't included in the Miami rotation for the three games before he missed time with the injury. With Miami also clearing Jimmy Butler (knee) and Kevin Love (back) to play Wednesday, head coach Erik Spoelstra isn't expected to have room for Jovic in his rotation.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Back in action Wednesday
Butler (knee) will play Wednesday versus the Lakers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Butler appears good to go after a one-game absence due to right knee soreness. The 35-year-old has delivered strong production when healthy, posting at least 23 points in four of his last five full contests.

Heat's Josh Richardson: Iffy for Wednesday
Richardson is now questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers with left heel soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Miami upgraded Richardson to available earlier in the day after he recovered from his head illness, but now his status is in the air again. Prior to missing the past two games for Miami, Richardson fell out of the rotation.

Heat's Kevin Love: Upgraded to probable
Love (back spasms) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Love was probable for Monday's game against Boston before he was ultimately ruled out, so it's not a guarantee that he will suit up. If he does play, he may be limited to minutes in the lower teens.

Heat's Josh Richardson: Available to play
Richardson (illness) is available to play Wednesday against the Lakers.
Richardson missed the past two games for Miami, but he had fallen out of the rotation prior to that. Richardson is not guaranteed any minutes Wednesday, but Jimmy Butler remains questionable with a knee issue which could dictate what the rotation looks like.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Upgraded to questionable
Jovic (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Jovic missed the past two games for Miami but has a shot at returning Wednesday. However, he hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation in recent outings.
