Andersen (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen is dealing with a bone bruise on his knee, and while it's nothing overly serious, he could miss a few games while the soreness subsides. The little-used veteran has seen time in only seven games this season.

Andersen had an MRI performed on his knee Sunday, but it came back negative and his injury is now being listed as just a bone bruise, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen hurt his knee during Wednesday's game against the Clippers. He was forced to sit out Friday, but after undergoing an MRI on Sunday, he's been cleared from any significant damage. He'll remain sidelined for Sunday's game against the Thunder, but should be considered questionable for Monday's tilt with the Bucks.

Andersen (knee) will miss at least the Heat's next two games, as he will miss the remainder of their road trip.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen has already returned to Miami to have his knee examined. If all goes well, he could potentially return to action Jan. 19 versus Milwaukee. Expect an update on his status when more information becomes available.

Andersen has been ruled out of Friday's matchup with the Nuggets due to a sore left knee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen hurt the knee during Wednesday's outing versus the Clippers and it's causing him enough discomfort that he'll sit out Friday. Considering it's being listed as just soreness, it shouldn't cost him a significant amount of time and he may be ready to return to the court as soon as Sunday's game against the Thunder. Even when healthy, Andersen isn't a part of the Heat's regular rotation and has only played in seven games so far this season.

Andersen will draw the start Monday versus Indiana, Jason Lieser of The Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Hassan Whiteside out due to a bruised knee, Andersen will get a rare start Monday. He has only logged seven minutes in the last two minutes combined, and had not played since Nov. 25 prior to that. Basically, it is unclear what to expect from Andersen, but he will get a chance to earn some more time in future rotations if he plays well. It is unknown how long Whiteside will be sidelined also.

Andersen (illness) will be active and available to play in Sunday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen has been dealing with an illness on-and-off of late, but feels good enough Sunday that he'll be available to play. Andersen has failed to work his way into a larger part of the rotation, which has led to very little production on the court. He's played in just three games this season and is averaging 2.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.3 assists over six minutes. Despite being active, there's a good chance he doesn't see the floor.

Andersen is dealing with an illness and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen has been battling illnesses at multiple points so far this season, but the inability to stay healthy hasn't really affected his usage in coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation. Instead, it seems that the 37-year-old has simply declined to the point that he no longer warrants regular run off the bench, as he's appeared in just three of the Heat's 25 games. Even if he recovers in time for Sunday's tilt, don't expect Andersen to see the court.

Andersen (illness) was active for Monday's loss to the Heat, but didn't see the court.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen is now healthy after he said that he was suffering from allergies in recent days, but he'll continue to remain out of coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation. The Heat could look to trade him to a team needy for a big man at some point later this season.

Andersen (illness) is a game-time call for Friday's game.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen is dealing with an illness that's recently made its way through the Miami locker room, and he'll wait until closer to game-time to make a decision on his status. The Birdman has taken on a reduced role this season, appearing in only three games and logging a total of 16 minutes.

Andersen (personal) will not be available Thursday night, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Andersen is away from the team Thursday, and coach Erik Spoelstra said the center has been given an "excused absence." Spoelstra noted that Andersen is expected to rejoin the team in time for Saturday's meeting with the winless 76ers.
