Heat again starting Bam Adebayo, Caleb Martin, Max Strus, Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler. Inactive tonight are Tyler Herro, Victor Oladipo, Omer Yurtseven and Dru Smith. So Jamal Cain will be active upon his return from G League. – 7:32 PM

There’s no timetable for Victor Oladipo’s return and now Omer Yurtseven may need to miss a large chunk of the season because of his ankle injury. The latest on where Yurtseven stands miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… – 3:03 PM

More on this storyline
The expectation is the recovery from the impending surgery will keep Yurtseven out for up to three months. Based on that timeline, he may be able to return by March. The injury keeping him out has been labeled by the Heat as a left ankle impingement. A source classified it as a bone-spur issue in his ankle. -via Miami Herald / November 13, 2022
Ira Winderman: Heat are waiving Dru Smith and plan to sign G League center Orlando Robinson, another sign that Omer Yurtseven is expected to miss extensive time. Robinson will receive the two-way deal held by Smith. -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / November 13, 2022
