Miami Heat News and Rumors - NBA

Pelle Larsson - Available against Hawks Larsson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Larsson is ready to return from a five-game absence due to a left ankle sprain Friday. Over his last six contests, Larsson has averaged 4.3 points, 2.0 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 17.6 minutes per contest. His presence leaves fewer minutes open to Nikola Jovic and Simone Fontecchio.

Keshad Johnson - Available vs. Atlanta Johnson (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Johnson will be available for this game, but that doesn't mean he'll see much playing time. He's been a healthy scratch in eight of Miami's last 12 games while averaging 7.3 minutes per game in that stretch.

Bam Adebayo - Won't play Friday vs. Atlanta Adebayo (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Adebayo popped up on Thursday's injury report due to lower back soreness, and he was downgraded to doubtful Friday before eventually being ruled out. Friday's contest is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the veteran center could be available to play against the Pacers on Saturday. Kel'el Ware should step into a larger role in Adebayo's absence, and more minutes will be available for the likes of Jaime Jaquez, Simone Fontecchio and Nikola Jovic (elbow).

Pelle Larsson - Probable to play Friday Larsson (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Larsson appears poised to return from a five-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He averaged 21.9 minutes per game prior to his injury absence, so his return will likely eat into the playing time for Jaime Jaquez and Simone Fontecchio.

Nikola Jovic - On track to return Friday Jovic (elbow) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Jovic has been sidelined for Miami's last six games while recovering from a right elbow contusion. He is trending toward returning Friday, and his presence would mean less rotational minutes available for the likes of Simone Fontecchio and Pelle Larsson (ankle).

Keshad Johnson - Under the weather Johnson (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Johnson is battling through an illness that puts him in jeopardy of missing Friday's game. However, his absence wouldn't impact the Heat's rotation all that much, given that he has been a healthy DNP in eight of the Heat's last 12 games and has averaged just 7.3 minutes a game across his four appearances over that span.

Tyler Herro - Sitting Friday Herro (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Herro is set to miss a sixth consecutive game as he continues to recover from a contusion on his right big toe. His next chance to play is Saturday against the Pacers, though the seventh-year pro does not have a clear timeline for a return.

Bam Adebayo - Nursing back injury Adebayo is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to lower back soreness.

Impact The Heat are playing the first leg of their back-to-back set Friday, so it's possible that the team sidelines Adebayo for one of those games while the veteran center recovers from a back injury. Ke'lel Ware would step into a more prominent role on offense and Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez would be the top candidates to enter Miami's starting lineup if Adebayo were to miss time.
