Simone Fontecchio News, Rumors, Updates - Miami Heat | FOX Sports

Out again Saturday Fontecchio (COVID-19 protocols) is out Saturday against the Grizzlies.

Impact As expected, Fontecchio will need more time to exit protocols. Mike Conley (rest), Rudy Gay (COVID-19 protocols) and Walker Kessler (illness) are also shelved. We could see back-end roster players like Ochai Agbaji, Leandro Bolmaro, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Udoka Azubuike get more minutes.

Won't play Friday Fontecchio has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to the NBA's health and safety protocols.

Impact Rudy Gay (COVID-19 protocols) has also been ruled out for the contest, so Talen Horton-Tucker, Ochai Agbaji and Malik Beasley could be in line for increased workloads Friday in Denver. If Fontecchio can clear protocols quickly, there's a chance he could return for Saturday's tilt with the Grizzlies, but it's probably more likely he returns Monday.

Fails to score Wednesday Fontecchio tallied zero points (0-2 FG) and one rebound in six minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 win over the Rockets.

Impact Fontecchio was coming off the best game of his career so far against Houston on Monday when he posted 13 points and three rebounds while making three three-pointers in 16 minutes. However, it appears that the undrafted rookie will have an inconsistent role with the team as the Jazz have gotten off to a surprising 4-1 start.

Impact Fontecchio is available Wednesday after missing last Friday's preseason finale with a left quadriceps contusion. Fontecchio averaged 10.1 minutes over three preseason games but is not expected to see much playing time behind Ochai Agbaji and Malik Beasley during the regular season.

Signs two-year deal with Utah Fontecchio signed a two-year deal with the Jazz on Sunday, Emiliano Carchia of Sportando.com reports.

Impact Fontecchio played for Baskonia last season, starting 11 of 17 contests and averaging 11.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals. The 6-foot-8 forward shot over 42.6 percent from three and figures to be an outside threat in the NBA, though he'll certainly be tested on defense.
