Okaro White (shoulder) ruled out for Wednesday night
White has officially been ruled out for tonight's season opener against the Orlando Magic to a shoulder injury. This news really doesn't change our approach or opinions of the remaining players in the Miami Heat frontcourt, as White was slated to be an end of the rotation player with the addition of Kelly Olynyk in the offseason. In White's absence, Jordan Mickey will likely find his way into some playing time but nowhere near enough minutes to make him a viable option in any format.
James Johnson questionable for Heat tonight; Luke Babbitt, Tyler Johnson, and Okaro White are all probable
Babbitt and Tyler Johnson were both questionable yesterday so they have both been upgraded and are likely to play. James Johnson, however. remains questionable and will be a game-time decision for the Heat tonight. If he sits again, Rodney McGruder and Okaro White will likely benefit the most in terms of playing time but neither are viable DFS options.
Miami Heat injury report for Wednesday's game
James Johnson, Luke Babbitt, and Tyler Johnson are all listed as questionable by Miami for their game tomorrow while Okaro White is probable. Tyler Johnson is the most unlikely of the three to play and his absence would be a boost to Josh Richardson's value. We'll update the status of the Heat players after their Wednesday morning shootaround.
