Silva (pelvis) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 3 against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Silva was sidelined by the pelvic injury throughout the later rounds of the playoffs, but he was able to take part in warmups for Game 2 and is now healthy. He averaged 7.9 minutes in 44 games this season, so he's unlikely to have much of a role even with Bam Adebayo (neck) potentially sidelined.

Silva (pelvis) is getting in some warmups ahead of Friday's Game 2 versus the Lakers, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Silva would normally have been unlikely to see the floor in the playoffs, but the absence of Bam Adebayo could wind up opening up minutes in the frontcourt. Silva averaged 3.0 points and 2.9 rebounds over 7.9 minutes in his 44 appearances this season.

The Heat list Silva (pelvis) as out Tuesday for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference finals series with the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Silva was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left pubic bone during the Heat's first-round series with the Pacers and missed all five games of the second-round series win over the Bucks. With the Heat having yet to suggest that Silva has taken a meaningful step forward in his recovery, he looks like he could be in danger of missing the entire series with Boston as well.

Silva was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his left pubic bone after an MRI on Saturday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old suffered the injury at the start of the week and it was initially labeled a left groin strain, but Saturday's imaging revealed he's dealing with the fracture. Silva didn't make an appearance during the four-game sweep of the Pacers, and his absence is unlikely to impact the Heat's rotation going forward. He should be considered out indefinitely until the team updates his status.

Silva (groin) will not play in Monday's Game 4 against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Silva was initially questionable and has now been downgraded to out on the Heat's official injury report. His absence should not affect the rotation, as he hasn't played in any of the first three games of the series.

The Heat list Silva as questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Pacers due to a left groin strain.
EDGE Analysis
Silva hasn't gotten off the bench in any of the first three games of the series, so his potential absence of Game 4 shouldn't affect coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation plans. Kelly Olynyk and Meyers Leonard are seemingly ahead of Silva in the pecking order for backup minutes behind starting center Bam Adebayo.

The Heat recalled Silva from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Though Silva recently had his two-way contract converted to a standard deal, the Heat still assigned him to their G League affiliate Thursday so he could receive some much-needed playing time. He appeared in back-to-back games for Sioux Falls on Friday and Saturday, totaling a combined 23 points, 10 rebounds, five blocks, four assists and one steal in 36 minutes of action. Though he'll be available for Monday's game against the Magic, Silva isn't expected to be included in coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation.

Silva was assigned to the G League on Thursday. He will be available for their home games on Jan. 24 and Jan. 25, and he's expected to rejoin the Heat for their game against the Magic on Jan. 27.
EDGE Analysis
Silva got a standard contract from the Heat earlier in the month, but he'll still spend some time in the G League to develop his skillset. Per 36 minutes for Miami this season, he's averaging 15.0 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 2.2 assists.

Silva agreed Monday with the Heat on a two-year, standard NBA contract, Andre Fernandez of the Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Silva had previously been playing with the Heat on a two-way deal, but with the undrafted rookie out of South Carolina nearing the end of his 45-day limit for time at the NBA level, the organization was eager to add him to the 15-man roster. According to Fernandez, Silva's deal is fully guaranteed and includes a team option for a third year. Silva hasn't been in coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation lately, but he's been a productive backup to starting center Bam Adebayo when called upon. Through 30 games, Silva is averaging 3.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in 8.3 minutes while shooting 69.1 percent from the field.
