The South Florida Sun-Sentinel speculates that Joel Anthony could be traded. The Heat need to find a willing taker for Anthony's contract, but he provides nothing on offense and won't be doing much as the team looks to take advantage of its versatile lineup.

Joel Anthony is still battling his hamstring injury. It sounds like the issue is very minor at this point, but it's been a concern since training camp began. Regardless, Anthony won't have a role on any fantasy roster this year.

Joel Anthony (hamstring) missed his third consecutive day of training camp on Tuesday. Anthony is nursing a "slight" hamstring pull, and although the injury doesn't sound serious, the Heat won't risk any major aggravations this early in training camp. With Chris Bosh sliding into a full-time role at center, Anthony isn't on the fantasy radar.

Joel Anthony sat out Miami's practice on Sunday with a slight hamstring pull. The injury doesn't sounds serious, and we're considering Anthony day-to-day until further notice. He'll need to have a strong camp to make the regular season rotation as a backup center, as Chris Bosh has taken over full-time starting C duties.

Beat writer Ira Winderman "wouldn't be surprised if the Heat were angling" to trade Joel Anthony. As Winderman notes, the team's "position-less small-ball approach" minimizes the definitive need for Anthony. The defensive-minded center is owed $3.8 million in each of the next two seasons, so it's not going to be like there will be a long list of teams lining up in an attempt to acquire him.

Erik Spoelstra said that Joel Anthony sat for "situational" reasons in Game 5. Anthony didn't even get off the bench and may not play in Game 6 either. Miami's center position has been a black hole and Anthony isn't going to solve that problem.

Joel Anthony (ankle) will play on Wednesday against the Raptors. Anthony could find himself in the starting lineup with both Chris Bosh (rest) and Ronny Turiaf (hamstring) out. Regardless, Anthony is a low-end play for owners in deeper formats who need a boost in the blocks department.

Joel Anthony apparently suffered an ankle injury during Monday's game, but X-rays taken were negative and the injury doesn't appear to be serious. We're going to put him on the injury report in advance of Wednesday's game against the Raptors, but we have no report to suggest that he won't play. Anthony scored eight points with five boards, one steal, and two blocks, and is only worth watching for blocks if you're trolling that category.

Joel Anthony (ankle) returned to action on Friday, scoring six points on 3-of-4 shooting with five rebounds, one steal, and two blocks in 18 minutes. Maybe he should get injured more often because this is actually a good night for Anthony. Needless to say, there's nothing to see here, folks.
