Iffy with illness Jaquez (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact After missing Monday's game against the Celtics, Jaquez remains iffy to suit up for the Heat on Wednesday due to an illness. The team will likely wait until closer to tipoff to update the second-year forward's status.

In that six-game span, Jaquez has averaged 7.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 22.0 minutes per contest.
