Kyle Lowry - Officially active Monday Lowry (hand) will play Monday against Brooklyn.

Impact Lowry went through pregame warm-ups and has been cleared for action, marking a surprising rise from his doubtful designation Monday afternoon. He joins a Miami backcourt that is now fully healthy with Jimmy Butler (toe) returning from a seven-game absence, although rookie wing Jaime Jaquez (groin) is out and set to be sidelined for multiple games.

JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Lowry - Trending toward playing Lowry (hand) has been upgraded to questionable and will warm up with the intention of playing, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Lowry was initially listed as doubtful due to a hand injury that caused him to miss back-to-back games before he returned Sunday versus Charlotte. He played 26 minutes but was held scoreless during the first half of Miami's back-to-back set, so even if he's cleared to play, the veteran point guard may have some restrictions.

JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jimmy Butler - Good to go Butler (toe) is available for Monday's game against the Nets, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Impact Butler will return to action Monday after missing 11 of the Heat's past 12 games. He will presumably have some restrictions but should be in the starting lineup and handle his usual usage while on the court. Before his string of absences, Butler averaged 22.8 points, 5.6 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 35.1 minutes over his previous nine appearances.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Missing two-game road trip Jaquez (groin), who has been ruled out for Monday's game in Brooklyn, didn't travel with the team on its road trip and will remain sidelined through Wednesday's contest in Toronto,...

Impact Jaquez will stay behind in Miami to receive further evaluation after he exited early in the second quarter of Sunday's 104-87 win over the Hornets due to a left groin strain. The rookie first-round pick was on his way to another strong outing prior to departing, finishing the day with 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 15 minutes. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said after Sunday's win that Jaquez was being viewed as day-to-day, so the 22-year-old could conceivably be ready to play Friday versus Atlanta after the team returns from its two-game road trip.

Kyle Lowry - Unlikely to play Monday Lowry (hand) is doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Lowry missed two games with a sprained left hand but played Sunday against the Hornets. However, it appears he's in a lot of discomfort on the second night of a back-to-back. His presumed absence could lead to more minutes for Josh Richardson, Caleb Martin and other backcourt playmakers.

JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Love - Will not play Monday Love (knee) will not be available for Monday's game against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact It was initially reported that Love would join the team in Brooklyn after he sat out Sunday's game against the Hornets, but that is not the case as Love did not travel. Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic will likely see a bump in playing time with Love ruled out again.

JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jimmy Butler - Questionable for Monday Butler (toe) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Impact Butler has missed 11 of the Heat's last 12 games, but he could make his return Monday. If he's cleared, he'd presumably have some restrictions, but he hasn't operated off the bench since the 2012-13 campaign.

Duncan Robinson - Provides spark off bench in victory Robinson logged 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 104-87 victory over Charlotte.

Impact Robinson led all bench players in Sunday's contest in scoring and assists while connecting on a trio of threes and ending one point short of the 20-point mark in a winning effort. Robinson has connected on three or more threes in seven of his last 10 games while posting 19 or more points in two straight outings.

JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bam Adebayo - All-around showing in double-double Adebayo ended with 24 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one block across 35 minutes during Sunday's 104-87 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Adebayo led all Heat players in scoring, rebounds and assists while finishing three dimes short of a double-double in an all-around performance. Adebayo has recorded at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in three games this year, including in two straight outings. He has recorded a double-double in 10 of his last 11 games.

JANUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Herro - Leads form deep in return Herro racked up 21 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 104-87 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Herro returned after missing the previous game with a shoulder injury, leading all Heat players in threes made while ending as one of two players with 20 or more points in a winning effort. Herro has connected on four or more threes in 11 games this year, scoring 20 or more points in all of those contests. He has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last five outings.
