Starting Wednesday at Rutgers Heath is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game at Rutgers.

Impact Heath has joined the starting five for Wednesday's game as he took the place of center Drew Fielder to start the game. The Hoyas are going with a small-ball approach to start the matchup as Heath's 11.5 points per game and 3.5 assists per game has clearly impressed the coaching staff.

Plays 24, scores 15 Heath logged 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and one rebound across his 24 minutes during Georgetown's 94-57 win Tuesday against Le Moyne.

Impact Despite not being added to Georgetown's starting lineup Tuesday, Heath scored a great amount of points against Le Moyne.

Heath averaged 13.7 points under all the aforementioned conditions.

Not starting on Tuesday Heath is not listed in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Le Moyne College.

Impact Heath has been battling a foot/toe injury as of late and the team appear to be putting him on a minutes restriction. With the inferior opponent on tap, it doesn't really make sense to push Heath too much. When 100 percent he should return to the starting five for new coach Ed Cooley.

Steps into starting five Heath is in the Bulldogs' starting lineup Saturday versus Marquette.

Impact Heath came off the bench in the past three games after sitting out eight straight contests with a hand injury. The 6-foot-3 junior will now return to starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 29. Across 15 games with 11 starts this season, Heath has averaged 12.2 points and 3.7 rebounds across 30.9 minutes per game. He replaces Jordan Riley in Georgetown's starting five Saturday.

Scores seven across 19 minutes Heath (hand) logged seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 19 minutes during the Hoyas' 63-53 loss Wednesday versus Creighton.

Impact During the Hoyas' first matchup of February 2023, Heath was a decent scorer as their sixth man. The junior is expected to be used more across his future games. Heath and Primo Spears were the Hoyas' starting backcourt during most of their late-2022. If both guards are paired together again, Jordan Riley is expected to be a backup option instead.

FEBRUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Warming up Wednesday Heath (hand) was spotted warming up ahead of the Hoyas' tilt with Creighton on Wednesday night, Patrick Stevens of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Heath has missed the entirety of January with a left hand injury, and February 1st was the earliest possible date he could return. It remains to be seen if the guard will play or not, but the fact that he's participating in warmups is a positive sign for him moving forward.

FEBRUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out across January Heath is out across January due to a hand injury, Bobby Bancroft of SB Nation reports.

Impact Heath underwent surgery to his left hand Friday. The recovering transfer must sit out at least one month. Unfortunately for Heath, the earliest date he could return is Feb. 1. Fantasy managers should not be surprised if Georgetown's starting lineups include Bryson Mozone again. He benefited the most when Heath waited to receive his eligibility waiver.

JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not warming up Heath is not warming up before Georgetown's game Sunday versus Butler, according to Patrick Stevens of The Washington Post.

Impact An undisclosed problem is expected to prevent Heath from participating in Georgetown's first game of 2023. Next, the team hosts Villanova on Wednesday.

Keeps scoring Heath closed Saturday's 83-64 loss to Syracuse with 14 points (5-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one steal in 39 minutes.

Impact Heath has now compiled 53 points across his last three games. While Heath was less efficient Saturday, he continues to log heavy minutes for Georgetown.

Logs 13 points, three steals Heath logged 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, three steals and two assists across 30 minutes during Georgetown's 75-63 loss Tuesday versus Northwestern.

Impact Despite not starting, Heath's latest log indicates how valued fantasy managers should expect him to be for Georgetown. If he starts, there is a good chance the Hoyas start small and leave out center Qudus Wahab. If Heath does not start, which is more unlikely than not, he should still remain a valued sixth man playing behind Primo Spears and Brandon Murray.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available vs. Northwestern Heath is available Tuesday versus Northwestern, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Heath received his eligibility waiver from the NCAA. He is expected to be a part of Georgetown's starting backcourt. Heath should not have many problems acclimating, considering the junior guard regularly practiced and still averaged more than 10 points in between his two transfers.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not suited up Tuesday Heath is not in uniform ahead of Tuesday's game versus Coppin State, Hilltop Hoops reports.

Impact It is unclear if the NCAA has yet to approve Heath's immediate eligibility waiver. The Arizona State transfer averaged 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 28.4 minutes across 28 games in 2021-22.
