Andrew Wiggins - Knocks down three treys in return Wiggins (toe) recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes in Thursday's 128-97 win over the Hawks.

Impact Wiggins missed the Heat's final game prior to the All-Star break due to left toe inflammation, but he was back in action Friday and didn't seem to be facing any restrictions. The veteran forward has seen his scoring average drop just over two points to 15.9 per game this season after he averaged 18.0 points over his 60 games between Golden State and Miami in 2024-25, but Wiggins is shooting more efficiently from the field (47 percent) and has converted at a career-best clip from downtown (39.8 percent).

Pelle Larsson - Puts up 12 points in return Larsson (finger) tallied 12 points (6-9 FG), six rebounds, two steals and one assist in 32 minutes Friday in the Heat's 128-97 win over the Hawks.

Impact Miami welcomed back two key rotation pieces for its first contest out of the All-Star break, as Larsson was back in action following a three-game absence and Tyler Herro (ribs) returned following a 15-game absence. Herro led the scoring charge for Miami with 24 points in his 23 minutes, but it was Larsson who moved back into the starting five and ended up seeing the heavier workload. Expect Herro to eventually take back a spot on the top unit, but Larsson should be in line for at least one more start Saturday versus the Grizzlies. Larsson should have a path to another 30-minute workload, as Miami will have some extra playing time to go around with Davion Mitchell (illness) listed as doubtful for the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Dru Smith - Dealing with calf soreness Smith is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Memphis due to left calf soreness.

Impact Smith played just three minutes off the bench during Miami's 128-97 win over Atlanta on Friday, when he failed to make his lone three-point attempt. Davion Mitchell (illness) is listed as doubtful, so if Smith is unable to play, then more minutes would be available for the likes of Pelle Larsson and Myron Gardner.

Nikola Jovic - Nursing back injury Jovic is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to lower-back tightness.

Impact Jovic played just three minutes during the Heat's blowout win over the Hawks on Saturday but may have tweaked his back in the process. He's failed to play more than 10 minutes in four of his last six outings, and his absence would lead to slightly more playing time being available for Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez.

Norman Powell - Nursing head illness Powell (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Powell and Davion Mitchell are both dealing with head illnesses, though the former is likely to suit up for Saturday's contest while the latter is listed as doubtful. Powell played 25 minutes in Miami's 128-97 blowout win over Atlanta on Friday and finished with 15 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal. Jaime Jaquez, Pelle Larsson and Myron Gardner would take on expanded roles if Powell is unable to play.

Tyler Herro proves he's still most important player on the Heat in his return When Tyler Herro is playing the right role, he might be the most important player on the Miami Heat's roster.

Davion Mitchell - Unlikely to play Saturday Mitchell (illness) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Mitchell was able to play through a head illness during the Heat's 128-97 win over the Hawks on Friday, when he logged seven points, seven assists, five rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 27 minutes. It appears the illness will prevent Mitchell from playing in the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set Saturday, and his absence will likely result in rookie first-rounder Kasparas Jakucionis being moved into the starting lineup against Memphis.

Tyler Herro - Likely to play Saturday Herro (ribs) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Herro returned from a 15-game absence due to a rib injury against the Hawks on Friday, when he played 23 minutes off the bench and finished with 24 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal in a 128-97 win. Herro appears to be on track to play in the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set Saturday, though he'll likely remain on a minutes restriction as he gets eased back into action.

Davion Mitchell - Dishes out seven assists in win Mitchell recorded seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven assists, five rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 128-97 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Mitchell was a late addition to the injury report Friday but was ultimately cleared to play in the front end of this back-to-back set. After averaging 4.3 assists per game over his previous three outings, the 27-year-old point guard dished out a team-high seven dimes against Atlanta. Additionally, he swatted multiple shots for the first time this season and set a career high in blocks. Mitchell isn't guaranteed to score in double figures on a nightly basis, though he typically offers value through his assist numbers. Aside from his three blocks Friday, the Baylor product hasn't recorded many defensive stats of late, and he has totaled just two steals over his last six appearances.

Bam Adebayo - Sniffs double-double in victory Adebayo produced 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 128-97 win over Atlanta.

Impact Although Adebayo's streak of 20-plus-point outings ended at three, he was efficient from the field and finished as Miami's second-leading scorer in this one. However, the star big man wasn't very effective from beyond the arc and has shot just 27.8 percent from downtown in February. On a more positive note, he grabbed at least eight boards for a fourth consecutive contest and has dished out at least five dimes twice over his last three.

Herro scores 24 points in return to help the Heat beat the Hawks 128-97

Tyler Herro scored 24 points in his return from a rib injury and the Miami Heat never trailed in a 128-97 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night

19 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Tyler Herro - Drops 24 points in return Herro (ribs) finished with 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes off the bench in Friday's 128-97 win over the Hawks.

Impact Herro returned to the hardwood following a 15-game absence due to a right costochondral injury to the ribs and operated under a minutes restriction off the bench. The star guard got off to a strong start, scoring 16 of his 24 points in the first half before ending as the game's leading scorer. He has reached the 20-point threshold in 10 of his 12 regular-season outings. It wouldn't be surprising to see Herro remain on a minutes limit as the Heat ease him back into action, and his status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's game against Memphis.

Pelle Larsson - Starting Friday Larsson will start Friday in Atlanta.

Impact Larsson is back after a three-game stint on the sidelines, and he'll draw another start despite Tyler Herro being available for Friday's game. As a starter this season, Larsson owns averages of 12.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 three-pointers per game.

Myron Gardner - Not starting vs. Atlanta Gardner won't start against the Hawks on Friday.

Impact Gardner started four of Miami's seven outings prior to the All-Star break, though he'll retreat to the second unit Friday. He has averaged 3.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 7.6 minutes per game over 22 appearances off the bench so far this season.

Kel'el Ware - Back to bench Friday Ware is not in the Heat's starting lineup against the Hawks on Friday.

Impact Ware started in each of the Heat's last two games before the All-Star break and recorded a double-double against the Pelicans on Feb. 11. However, the second-year center will retreat to the bench for Friday's contest after Andrew Wiggins (toe) was cleared to play.

22 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Davion Mitchell - Starting Friday Mitchell (illness) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

Impact Mitchell is feeling a bit under the weather, but he'll power through and get out there for Friday's game. Joining him in the first unit will be Andrew Wiggins, Norman Powell, Pelle Larsson and Bam Adebayo.
