Victor Oladipo only injured Heat who could return before All-Star break?
Anthony Chiang: Erik Spoelstra says Victor Oladipo is only current injured Heat player who realistically could return before All-Star break. That means Duncan Robinson, Omer Yurtseven, Nikola Jovic and Kyle Lowry likely won’t make their returns until after the break.

Erik Spoelstra said tonight that of the Heat’s sidelined players (Oladipo, Lowry, Jovic, Yurtseven, Duncan Robinson), Oladipo (ankle) is the only “realistic” one to return before the All-Star break. That either would be Monday vs. visiting Nuggets or Wednesday at Brooklyn. – 6:00 PM

Heat remains without Jovic, Lowry, Oladipo, D. Robinson, Haslem and Yurtseven tonight vs. Magic in Orlando.
Gabe Vincent is probably with ankle inflammation. No other Heat player on injury report. – 1:02 PM

Heat again opening with Adebayo, Martin, Butler, Herro and Vincent. Lowry, Oladipo, Yurtseven, Jovic and Duncan Robinson are inactive. Haslem is a healthy scratch. – 7:34 PM

Danny Green, Justin Holiday, Frank Kaminsky and John Wall are listed as out for the Rockets in Miami because of “trade pending.” Kevin Porter Jr. remains out. The Heat made no trades but Kyle Lowry, Victor Oladipo, Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Omer Yurtseven are out. – 1:38 PM

Heat now must hope Omer Yurtseven can provide post-deadline bump like Victor Oladipo did last season. sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h… Also: Homegrown talent still a thing; Heat on a home run. – 5:08 PM

That #Rockets pick is 31-32 protected.
Houston is currently picking 31 and is 0.5 games worse than Detroit, 1.0 game worse than San Antonio and 1.5 games worse than Charlotte.
If the pick stays at 31-32, it goes to Indy (from the Caris LeVert, Victor Oladipo trade). – 3:40 PM

The Athletic reports Westbrook has interest in Clippers and Heat after a Jazz buyout. Though Westbrook still does some things well (7.5 assists, 6.2 rebounds), challenge would be injecting 29 percent 3-point shooter in current Heat starting group, or alongside Oladipo off bench. – 1:26 PM
