Out Sunday Jaquez (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact As expected, Jaquez and Andrew Wiggins (ankle) have been downgraded from doubtful to out. In their absences, Haywood Highsmith, Duncan Robinson and Kyle Anderson are candidates for increased roles.

Likely won't play Sunday Jaquez (ankle) has been Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman reports.

Impact Jaquez suffered a sprained right ankle in Friday's win against the Pacers and is trending toward not playing in Sunday's game. Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is also doubtful for this game against New York, which means Duncan Robinson might have to shoulder the load.

Won't return Friday vs. Indiana Jaquez has been ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Jaquez sprained his right ankle early in the third quarter and was helped off the floor before going to the locker room. X-rays on his ankle came back negative, but the sprain is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Friday's contest, and it puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Knicks. Haywood Highsmith, Duncan Robinson and Kyle Anderson will have the opportunity to see increased roles in the second half due to Jaquez's injury.

Heads to locker room Friday Jaquez went to the locker room early in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle injury, Will Manso of Local 10 Miami reports.

Impact Jaquez got the start Friday in place of the injured Andrew Wiggins (ankle). Jaquez appeared to turn his right ankle and needed help off the court before heading to the locker room. Kyle Anderson, Haywood Highsmith and Duncan Robinson are all candidates to see their minutes increase in the second half should Jaquez not return.

MARCH 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday vs. Indiana Jaquez is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Pacers on Friday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Jaquez has played just 15 minutes across his last two outings, but he will make his 12th start of the regular season Friday due to the absence of Andrew Wiggins (ankle). As a starter this season, Jaquez has averaged 13.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.2 steals over 29.9 minutes per game.

MARCH 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Friday Jaquez is not in the Heat's starting lineup against the Raptors on Friday.

Impact Jaquez got his 11th start of the regular season Feb. 13 against the Mavericks, and he finished that game with six points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals over 23 minutes. He'll revert to a reserve role Friday as Andrew Wiggins (illness) and Bam Adebayo (knee) have both been cleared to play.

Getting chance with starters Jaquez is starting Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Jaquez will step into the starting rotation following the update that Bam Adebayo (knee) is sitting Thursday. Jaquez's last start dates back to Jan. 15 against the Lakers. He's averaging 14.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.8 steals in his last six chances as a starter.

FEBRUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Jaquez (illness) said he'll be available for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jaquez was held out of Monday's contest due to illness, but he'll be back in action against OKC. In the four games leading up to his absence, Jaquez averaged 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 20.5 minutes.

FEBRUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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. If Jaquez remains sidelined against Oklahoma City, Alec Burks would figure to be the direct beneficiary for fantasy purposes after making his first start of the season against Boston.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Jaquez (illness) will not play Monday against the Celtics.

Impact Jaquez was previously listed as questionable after missing Sunday's practice. With Jaquez sidelined, Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and Davion Mitchell could see decent roles in their expected debut, especially since Tyler Herro (illness) is now questionable.

FEBRUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice due to illness Jaquez didn't practice Sunday due to an illness and is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Jaquez has averaged 21.4 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances. However, his playing could decrease once Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson and Davion Mitchell are cleared to make their Heat debuts.

FEBRUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet outing in return Wednesday Jaquez provided zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across seven minutes during Wednesday's 126-106 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Jaquez saw only seven minutes of playing time during his return from a one-game absence due to an illness. The second-year pro has reverted back to the bench over his last six appearances with Kel'el Ware and Duncan Robinson both becoming mainstays in the starting five of late. In that six-game span, Jaquez has averaged 7.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 22.0 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Jaquez (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact After missing Monday's win against the Magic, Jaquez will shake off his probable tag and is expected to be back in the rotation. With Jimmy Butler suspended through the trade deadline, Jaquez could see plenty of shot attempts with the second unit in the short term.

Victor Wembanyama, Zach Edey headline rosters for NBA Rising Stars games

Probable for Wednesday Jaquez (illness) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact After missing Monday's win against the Magic, Jaquez is trending toward returning to the floor Wednesday to take on the Cavaliers in Miami. The second-year big man is averaging 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 44.2 percent from the floor and 31.7 percent from beyond the arc this season.

JANUARY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Monday vs. Orlando Jaquez (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jaquez is dealing with a stomach bug, which is severe enough for him to be held out of Monday's contest. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Cavaliers. With Jaquez out and Jimmy Butler suspended indefinitely, Pelle Larsson and Nikola Jovic should both see a significant increase in playing time.

JANUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy due to illness Jaquez is questionable for Monday's game versus the Magic due to an illness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jaquez was a late addition to the injury report and he wasn't present at the morning shootaround which doesn't bode well for his status. Fortunately for Miami, Jimmy Butler is expected to return from his two-game suspension Monday.

JANUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lukewarm production in loss Jaquez produced eight points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 25 minutes during Thursday's 125-96 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Even with Jimmy Butler suspended, Jaquez still wasn't able to rejoin Miami's starting lineup in favor of rookie second-rounder Pelle Larsson on Thursday. Over his last four outings, Jaquez has averaged 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes. With the Heat actively shopping Butler ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline, the 2023 first-rounder could end up making additional starts for the team down the stretch of the season despite his current reserve role.

JANUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench role Jaquez won't start Friday against the Nuggets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jaquez was excellent in a starting role during Jimmy Butler's seven-game suspension, averaging 14.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game while starting in all but one of those contests. However, Butler will return to the starting lineup against Denver, so Jaquez will return to his regular bench role. Therefore, the second-year forward out of UCLA should experience some regression in his numbers.

JANUARY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in win Thursday Jaquez closed Thursday's 97-92 victory over the Jazz with 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 36 minutes.

Impact Jaquez has been excellent since being promoted to a starting role, scoring over 15 points in his three consecutive starts while posting a triple-double on Jan. 6. Jaquez is expected to remain in the starting lineup as long as Jimmy Butler (suspension) remains out. The former UCLA standout is averaging 15.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game across seven starts this season.
