Jaquez (groin) is available for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez missed six straight games due to a left groin strain but will return to action Saturday. He was a regular starter before his absence, averaging 16.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals while starting 11 of his past 12 appearances. However, it's unclear if he'll reclaim a starting spot upon his return, as the Heat are back to full strength and added Terry Rozier to the mix since Jaquez last played.

Jaquez (groin) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez will likely miss a fifth straight game due to a left groin strain. Coach Erik Spoelstra said Sunday that Jaquez is without a timetable to return, so until he logs a full practice, Jaquez can likely be considered doubtful for future contests as well. Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith (foot) are candidates for increased roles until Jaquez returns.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said Jaquez (groin) won't play Sunday versus the Magic and is without a timetable to return, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the seemingly pessimistic outlook on Jaquez' short-term availability, Spoelstra noted that team trainers "have been encouraged" by the rookie's ongoing recovery from a left groin strain. Nonetheless, Jaquez is at risk of missing multiple contests beyond Monday, leaving Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith to continue operating in enlarged roles at forward.

Jaquez (groin) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez has missed the last two games and is in danger of missing a third straight. Prior to the injury, the rookie found himself in a groove, averaging 15.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.1 blocks across 33.9 minutes in his last seven games (all starts). If Jaquez is sidelined, expect Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson and Haywood Highsmith to all see extended minutes.

Jaquez (groin), who has been ruled out for Monday's game in Brooklyn, didn't travel with the team on its road trip and will remain sidelined through Wednesday's contest in Toronto, ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez will stay behind in Miami to receive further evaluation after he exited early in the second quarter of Sunday's 104-87 win over the Hornets due to a left groin strain. The rookie first-round pick was on his way to another strong outing prior to departing, finishing the day with 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 15 minutes. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said after Sunday's win that Jaquez was being viewed as day-to-day, so the 22-year-old could conceivably be ready to play Friday versus Atlanta after the team returns from its two-game road trip.

Jaquez (groin) won't travel to Brooklyn for Monday's game against the Nets, Wes Goldberg of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaquez sustained a left groin strain Sunday against the Hornets, and coach Erik Spoelstra said that the 22-year-old won't make the trip to Brooklyn ahead of Monday's matchup. However, Jaquez ll be considered day-to-day after Monday's game, and Spoelstra downplayed the severity of the injury following Sunday's contest. If Jimmy Butler (toe) remains out Monday, Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson and Josh Richardson could see plenty of run for Miami.
