Andersen scored six points (3-6 FG) and added nine rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes of play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. As long as Chris Bosh (calf) is out, Andersen will accumulate more minutes. He received ten more minutes on Wednesday than his season average and was almost able to get a double-double. Andersen is likely to score little, but even a ten point output in combination with ten rebounds would be a solid short term option while Chris bosh is without a certain timetable to return.

Andersen will join the Heat's starting lineup Wednesday. This doesn't mean much from a fantasy perspective, as Andersen's minutes will remain fairly constant. He played 20 minutes off the bench in his last game, and could see a minor bump Wednesday.

Andersen returned from an ankle injury on Sunday to play 18 minutes off the bench. He finished with two points (1-1 FG), three rebounds,, one assist, and one block. Andersen has not played many games this season as he's been battling injuries thus far into the young season. He provides a vital defensive role for the Heat, and they can use all the help they can get at the moment. Justin Hamilton has been the starting center lately for the Heat and if Andersen begins to show he's healthy it's possible for him to earn a role in the starting lineup.

Updating a previous note, Andersen (ankle) will be available off the bench Sunday against Chicago. Andersen, who has not played since Nov. 23, is still dealing with some minor discomfort in the ankle, but he'll be an option off the bench for the Heat, who are without Chris Bosh (calf) and Josh McRoberts (knee). Andersen has the potential to grab a fair number of rebounds, as well as block a few shots, but he's not a reliable fantasy option in most formats.

Andersen (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Bulls. As expected, Andersen will remain out - he hasn't played since Nov. 23 - as he shoots for a return Tuesday in Brooklyn. With Chris Bosh (calf) and Josh McRoberts (knee) also ruled out, the Heat will be shorthanded in the frontcourt Sunday.

Andersen (ankle) will likely return to the lineup against the Nets on Tuesday, the Sun Sentinel reports. Andersen has been sidelined with a sprained right ankle since Nov. 23. He has averaged 15.8 minutes on the court over nine games this season and won't likely provide much of a fantasy impact when he returns to health.

Andersen has a high ankle sprain and will miss two-to-three weeks, the South Florida Sun Sentinel's Ira Winderman reports. While Andersen is sidelined, Josh McRoberts, Shawne Williams and Udonis Haslem will take the frontcourt minutes alongside Chris Bosh.

Andersen (ankle) will be out "a little while," according to coach Erik Spoelstra, Ethan Skolnick of Turner Sports reports. Andersen went down with a sprained ankle early in Sunday's game against Charlotte and did not return. X-rays on the ankle returned negative, but Andersen is dealing with a fairly severe sprain and will likely miss a handful of games in the short-term. He won't play Tuesday against the Warriors and should be considered very questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Knicks.

Andersen suffered a sprained ankle in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Hornets and will not return, Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald reports. X-rays on the ankle came back negative, but Andersen will be held out for the rest of the game, and his status for Tuesday's matchup with the Warriors is in jeopardy. Prior to exiting, Andersen did not record any statistics in two minutes of action.

Andersen (ribs) returned to the court Wednesday after missing the previous five games. He finished with zero points and four rebounds in 17 minutes. Andersen will likely be in a limited bench role as a defensive stopper for the Heat again this season. His fantasy value is currently limited to the deepest of leagues. Unless the Heat had several injuries open up minutes for Andersen, it's highly unlikely that he will be of use in most leagues this season.
