Andersen (ankle) scored 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-4 FT) with 14 rebounds, a steal and a block in 30 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Nets. With Hassan Whiteside serving a one-game suspension, Andersen was able to step up and have a huge night for the Heat. Expect him to return to his limited bench role on Friday against the Raptors, however.

Andersen (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Nets, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports. Andersen has been given the green light by the Heat's training staff, and he'll get the start at center with Hassan Whiteside suspended.

Andersen (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Shandel Richardson of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The Heat haven't revealed the results of the evaluation that Andersen underwent Tuesday, so his availability for Wednesday's game will be shrouded in mystery leading up to tip off. With Hassan Whiteside suspended for Wednesday's game, the Heat could be hurting for depth on the inside if Andersen is forced to sit, as the undersized Udonis Haslem -- who is probable to play, but is nursing an ankle injury of his own -- would likely be forced to cover the center spot.

Andersen injured his ankle in Monday's game against the Celtics and will be evaluated Tuesday, the Miami Herald reports. Andersen managed to play 19 minutes in Monday's game but may be in danger for Miami's upcoming contest against the Nets on Wednesday. Official news on his availability should be unveiled sometime Tuesday.

Andersen moved into the starting lineup during Saturday's overtime victory against the Kings, finishing with 11 points (3-5 FG, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one steal and three blocked shots in 29 minutes. Andersen made the move into the starting five, as Hassan Whiteside sat out with an ankle injury. Considering Whiteside's injury isn't considered to be one that will cost him extended time, don't expect this to last more then a game or two. As soon as that happens, he'll return to playing in the mid-teens in minutes, which will highly restrict his fantasy impact.

Andersen (general soreness) only saw 13 minutes off the bench against the Wizards on Friday but still managed to post four points, six rebounds, and one assist during his short time on the court. Andersen was dealing with some general soreness ahead of Friday's game but the Heat were already bogged down with other injuries so Andersen was thrust into action. He'll likely see some time off the court down the road to rest, although he should be considered active until the Heat say otherwise.

Andersen (general soreness) is active for Friday's game against the Wizards. The Heat are dealing with numerous injuries heading into Friday so Andersen will be playing through whatever soreness that is still plaguing him in lieu of resting.

Andersen (general soreness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards. It appears coach Erik Spoelstra may look to give Andersen a night off to rest, though a final decision may not come until close to game-time. Andersen played 15 minutes and put up four points and six rebounds Wednesday against the Lakers.

Andersen (illness) posted one point, four rebounds, and one block in 14 minutes of action Monday against the Suns. Andersen missed one game due to an illness, and it appears he's ready to go moving forward. Still, he hasn't made the most of Chris Bosh's absence, averaging just 3.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks over the last four games. He isn't a valid fantasy option in most leagues.

Andersen (illness) will play Monday against the Suns, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Andersen missed Monday's shootaround and was considered a game-time call, but it appears he'll take the court Monday and play through an illness. Udonis Haslem will get the start at power forward alongside Hassan Whiteside.
