MIAMI HEAT NEWS

Tyler Herro - Won't play Friday Herro (toe) won't play in Friday's game against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Herro was downgraded to doubtful Friday morning, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 25-year-old guard is set to have an MRI on his toe Saturday, and we should have more clarity regarding the severity of the injury afterward. Miami plays Sacramento on Saturday night.

Norman Powell - Returning to action Friday Powell (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Powell was initially listed as questionable but will return to action Friday after missing Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks. With Tyler Herro (toe) sidelined, Powell may see increased usage Friday, and it's unclear if either guard will suit up during the second half of Miami's weekend back-to-back set against the Kings on Saturday. Over his last 14 appearances, Powell has averaged 25.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.5 minutes.

Tyler Herro - Downgraded to doubtful Herro (toe) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Herro was initially listed as questionable but is now unlikely to play Friday due to a toe injury. He's slated to undergo an MRI on Saturday, but for now, the star guard can be considered day-to-day. Norman Powell (ankle) has been upgraded to available, but with Herro likely out, Pelle Larsson figures to stick in the starting lineup for at least one more game.

Kasparas Jakucionis - Back to G League Jakucionis was assigned to the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Thursday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Jakucionis was recalled to the NBA club Monday and saw one minute of action against the Clippers, logging one steal and hoisting up a pair of shots during his brief stint. He'll return to the G League where he'll presumably see more opportunities to stay sharp.

Norman Powell - Questionable for Friday Powell (ankle) is questionable to play Friday in Orlando.

Impact Powell missed Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks due to the ankle issue, and it looks like he might skip Friday's game as well, with it coming as the first of a back-to-back set. If both Powell and Tyler Herro (toe) are out, Jaime Jaquez might be able to start, and Bam Adebayo would see a ton of shots falling his way.

Tyler Herro - Questionable for Friday Herro is questionable for Friday's game in Orlando due to irritation in his right big toe.

Impact Herro has been excellent since coming back from ankle surgery, but the Heat may opt to hold him out of his first back-to-back set with his toe acting up. If Herro does need to hit the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Pelle Larsson, Dru Smith and Jaime Jaquez.

Kel'el Ware - Big double-double off bench Ware posted 22 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Ware turned in a double-double, his ninth in 2025-26, while stuffing the stat sheet. The second-year center's fantasy upside is capped by the presence of Bam Adebayo, though Ware has been very productive with averages of 14.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest in his last 10 games.

Dru Smith - Fills stat sheet in loss Smith provided eight points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Smith has been a rather impactful piece for Miami off the bench (especially in the defensive end), averaging 6.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks across 18.0 minutes in his last eight games. Smith will likely continue to backup Davion Mitchell as the team's facilitators.

Nikola Jovic - Goes scoreless again Wednesday Jovic posted zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in six minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to Dallas.

Impact Jovic failed to score for the second straight game, continuing what has been a disastrous season thus far. Seen as a possible breakout candidate, at least to begin the season, Jovic has basically fallen out of the rotation. After receiving five straight DNP-CDs, Jovic has since averaged just 5.7 minutes per game in his last three appearances.

Simone Fontecchio - Limited again in loss Fontecchio provided eight points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Fontecchio scored single digits for the sixth straight game, while his continued lack of peripheral stats makes him a non-factor in standard fantasy leagues. In 21 appearances for the Heat, Fontecchio has averaged 10.0 points and 2.1 three-pointers in 19.0 minutes per game.

Tyler Herro - Another 20-point performance Herro contributed 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Herro has now scored at least 20 points in five straight games since returning from injury, slotting straight in as the primary scoring option. In those five games, he has averaged 23.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.0 three-pointers. He should continue to put up consistent numbers on the offensive end, making him a relatively safe top-40 asset.
