Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (undisclosed) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. The former Hornet suffered what appeared to be a right leg injury while going up for a shot late in the third quarter. While there wasn't an official update regarding Rozier's condition, his injury prevented him from shooting free throws, meaning he was ineligible to return to the contest. Jimmy Butler (personal) wasn't available for this one, and Josh Richardson (shoulder) was ruled out in the first half. As a result, the Heat will be shorthanded for the remainder of the game. There's also a chance the team will be without Butler, Rozier, and Richardson against Milwaukee on Tuesday night. If that's the case, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo may be tasked with more responsibilities on the scoring end, with Duncan Robinson, Cody Martin, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. in line to start.

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. will start on Sunday afternoon against the Boston Celtics. Jimmy Butler (personal) is away from the team to tend to the death of a family member. As a result, there will be plenty of scoring opportunities up for grabs, most of which should be absorbed by Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Terry Rozier. But Jaquez has averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 boards, and 1.3 steals in 15 starts this season, meaning he'll make a fine streaming option for any fantasy lineup.


Boston Celtics guard Jaden Springer (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Miami Heat. The 21-year-old was moved to the C's from Philly on Thursday. In 32 games with the 76ers this season, he averaged 4.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. But he's dealing with a sprained ankle, so his next chance to debut for his new squad will be on Tuesday in Brooklyn. However, Springer is not likely to be involved enough to be routinely relevant on the fantasy end, meaning he's best left off rosters in nearly all formats.


Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) won't play on Sunday afternoon versus Boston. He was listed as questionable as of Saturday evening. However, the team allowed him time away to deal with the death of a family member. Miami has a back-to-back left on the schedule heading into the All-Star break. While nothing has been confirmed, it's possible Butler won't be back until the February 23 clash with the New Orleans Pelicans. Nonetheless, Jaime Jaquez Jr. could find his way back into the starting lineup against the C's, giving him a higher-than-usual fantasy ceiling. Of course, Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, and Terry Rozier are the favorites to do most of the heavy lifting offensively until Butler is back in the equation.


Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (abdomen) underwent successful core muscle surgery on Friday. He will be re-evaluated in six weeks. The 20-year-old hasn't played since mid-January. He appeared to be progressing. However, the Trail Blazers will be without him for a while. Sharpe averaged 15.9 points, 5.0 boards, and 2.9 assists in 32 games this season. Unfortunately, he hasn't stayed healthy. That said, until Sharpe is back in the lineup, Malcolm Brogdon and Scoot Henderson should absorb most of his minutes.
