Plays well in loss Jakucionis had eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Jakucionis was a bright spot off the bench for Miami. He's trending up over his last seven games, posting averages of 6.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.5 minutes per contest.

Kasparas Jakucionis' unteachable trait makes him a can't-miss prospect for Heat If Kasparas Jakucionis continues to put in the hard work, it's hard to envision how he becomes a bust for the Miami Heat.

Back to bench Jakucionis is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Magic.

Impact The rookie floor general will return to the second due to the return of Tyler Herro (quadriceps) to the starting lineup. Jakucionis is averaging 7.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in 11 appearances (three starts) since the All-Star break.

Fares well in second straight start Jakucionis logged 18 points (6-12 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Jakucionis drew a second consecutive start with Tyler Herro (quadriceps) sidelined, and he looked much more comfortable Thursday evening. He put together his best showing in the scoring column since Feb. 9 and snagged a season high in boards on the way to a win. While Jakucionis has logged north of 30 minutes in back-to-back outings, these kinds of opportunities are expected to dwindle once Miami's backcourt returns to health.

Starting Tuesday Jakucionis is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Wizards on Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Jakucionis will make his 10th start of the season (and first since Feb. 21) due to the absences of Tyler Herro (quadriceps) and Norman Powell (groin). In his last start against the Grizzlies on Feb. 21, Jakucionis finished with 12 points, five assists, three rebounds and two three-pointers over 23 minutes.

Stuck in reserve role Jakucionis chipped in nine points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 victory over the Nets.

Impact As long as Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell are healthy, Jakucionis is likely to struggle for streaming value in fantasy leagues. Over his last four outings, Jakucionis has averaged just 3.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 15.3 minutes per game.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Retreating to bench Jakucionis won't start against the Bucks on Tuesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Davion Mitchell will return from a one-game absence due to an illness, pushing Jakucionis to the second unit. Over six February appearances off the bench, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 11.0 points, 4.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 22.5 minutes per contest.

Starting sans Mitchell Jakucionis will start Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact The rookie first-rounder will get the starting nod due to Davion Mitchell (illness) being sidelined. As a starter this season (eight games), Jakucionis has averaged 6.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.

Drills six treys off bench Jakucionis contributed 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Monday's 115-111 loss to Utah.

Impact Jakucionis caught fire from beyond the arc yet again after going 6-for-6 from downtown Sunday against the Wizards. He's been an unlikely contributor from deep having averaged 0.9 made threes per game over his previous 26 matchups heading into Sunday's clash, but the Heat will undoubtedly take his strong contributions off the bench while without the services of Tyler Herro (ribs), Norman Powell (back) and Pelle Larsson (elbow).

Erupts off bench in win Jakucionis accumulated 22 points (8-10 FG, 6-6 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 win over the Wizards.

Impact Jakucionis delivered a breakout performance Sunday, tying Bam Adebayo for the game high with 22 points in a dominant Heat win. The rookie guard was perfect from beyond the arc while setting a new career high in scoring and adding three stocks. Jakucionis hasn't been a fixture in head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation this season, but outings like this could open the door to more opportunities for the No. 20 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

FEBRUARY 8 • Associated Press

Left out of rotation Friday Jakucionis (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Heat's 98-96 loss to the Celtics.

Impact After playing in each of Miami's last 12 games while averaging 4.8 points, 3.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 19.3 minutes per contest, Jakucionis found himself outside of the rotation as the Heat welcomed Norman Powell (personal) and Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) back from three- and one-game absences, respectively. Though Jakucionis is a superior playmaker to Dru Smith, the Heat appear to place more value in what Smith brings to the table defensively as the backup point guard on the second unit. With Davion Mitchell back to full health and Tyler Herro (ribs) perhaps returning at some point later this month, Jakucionis may not have a path to regular playing time now that Miami is inching closer to full strength.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Sunday Jakucionis is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Jakucionis had started the Heat's previous six games but will slide back to the bench with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) returning to the lineup. The rookie has come off the bench in 16 of his 24 appearances this season, averaging 3.2 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.6 minutes per contest as a reserve.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Sunday Jakucionis (face) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact Jakucionis will shake off his questionable tag due to a facial contusion and suit up in the second half of this back-to-back set. The rookie first-rounder has started each of his last two appearances and may remain in the starting five with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) set to miss a third straight game. Over his last five games (three starts), Jakucionis has averaged 4.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 17.2 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Sunday Jakucionis is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns due to a facial contusion.

Impact Jakucionis may have sustained the injury during Saturday's 147-116 win over the Jazz, when he logged 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes. Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, and if he and Jakucionis were both to be sidelined, then Dru Smith would be in line to enter the Heat's starting lineup.
