  • Cody Zeller (foot) questionable Sunday vs. Nuggets
    Cody Zeller is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Denver due to a right foot sprain.

    Advice: Big Cody Z totaled 13 minutes and a DNP-CD across the Heat's last four games, but when called upon for bigger minutes, he's played admirably. There's not a player who would benefit significantly if Zeller doesn't suit up Sunday. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 10:56 pm
     
  • Tyler Herro (hand) officially out for Game 2
    Tyler Herro has been officially ruled out of Sunday's Game 2 against the Nuggets.

    Advice: There was optimism Herro might make his return Sunday for Game 2, but barring a miraculous last-second upgrade, his earliest return will be Game 3 on Wednesday back at home. Miami is surely hoping the series is knotted up at a game apiece by that time. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 10:51 pm
     
  • Questionable for Game 2
    Zeller is questionable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday due to a sprained right foot, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: Zeller was held scoreless across seven minutes of action in Game 1 and appears to have picked up a foot sprain during the contest. Though he plays an auxiliary role as Miami's backup center, his potential absence could open the door for Kevin Love to rejoin the rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:47 pm
     
  • Unavailable for Game 2
    Herro (hand) is listed as out for Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: Though there had been rumors swirling that Herro could come back for Game 2, it appears the guard will be held out at least one more game as he continues to recover from a hand surgery that stemmed from an injury dating back to the first round of the playoffs. Though it's unlikely, the Heat could still upgrade Herro prior to tipoff, making his status something to monitor for managers leading up to Sunday's 8:00 ET start.

  • Officially questionable
    Martin (illness) is questionable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: Martin wasn't able to practice Saturday due to a non-COVID illness and has been handed a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's tilt. Though he is highly incentivized to play through the issue given Miami's 1-0 deficit, managers will likely have to check back in closer to tipoff to get an update on his status.

  • Caleb Martin (illness) will not practice Saturday
    Caleb Martin (illness) will not practice on Saturday ahead of Game 2 on Sunday. 

    Advice: After starring during the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston, Martin wasn’t able to get much going offensively in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. He won’t practice the day before Game 2, but it’s hard to imagine it keeping him out of a game unless it’s serious. If he doesn’t suit up, Kevin Love, Haywood Highsmith and Duncan Robinson could see increased roles. Highsmith shined in Game 1 with 18 points off the bench.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 3:01 pm
     
  • Dealing with illness
    Martin missed Saturday's practice due to a non-COVID illness.

    Advice: After falling flat in Game 1 and mustering up just three points over 25 minutes, Martin could not attend Saturday's practice and appears to be battling an illness. Though it's unclear if the illness played a role in his Game 1 struggles, it's likely he won't be feeling 100 percent for Sunday's Game 2 if he suits up. We'll get more information regarding Martin's status when the Heat release their official injury report. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:10 pm
     
  • Julius Randle undergoes arthroscopic ankle surgery
    The Knicks announced that Julius Randle underwent a successful arthroscopic procedure on his left ankle on Friday. 

    Advice: Randle, who initially injured his left ankle late in the regular season, was hampered by the issue throughout the team's playoff run. The two-time All-Star reinjured his ankle during Game 5 of the Knicks' first-round series against the Cavaliers and did not look like himself at all during the second round. According to the team, Randle is expected to resume basketball activities at some point this summer. He finished this season as a top 75 player in 9-cat formats, rebounding after a disappointing 2021-22 campaign. Having a full season with Jalen Brunson under his belt should help Randle maintain that status, if not exceed it, in 2023-24.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 10:48 am
     
  • Domantas Sabonis (thumb) hoping to avoid surgery
    Domantas Sabonis was due to undergo another scan on his injured right thumb on Thursday and hopes to avoid having to undergo surgery. 

    Advice: Sabonis played a significant chunk of the season with an avulsion fracture in his right thumb. He had the thumb scanned immediately after the Kings' season concluded and was due to undergo another evaluation on Thursday. The hope is that Sabonis will be able to avoid surgery this summer. The results of the second scan and ensuing treatment plan will impact his availability for Lithuania in this summer's FIBA World Cup. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 10:17 am
