Harkless (COVID-19 protocols) will play Saturday against the Pistons, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Between a forearm injury and protocols, Harkless has missed the past four games. However, he'll be able to return Saturday and could see a slightly expanded role given the absences of Jimmy Butler (COVID-19 protocols), Tyler Herro (neck), Meyers Leonard (shoulder) and Avery Bradley (COVID-19 protocols).

Harkless (COVID-19 protocols) sports a questionable designation for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel report.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Harkless is even deemed questionable can be considered a win at this point, as it could indicate he's nearing a return to the floor. Still, confirmation of his status should arrive ahead of Saturday's 8 PM ET tip.

Harkless (COVID-19 protocols) will remain out for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless will miss both Tuesday's and Thursday's matchups against the Sixers, as will the rest of the Heat's players currently dealing with the league's health and safety protocols. The Heat will play with eight players Tuesday night and could have as many as nine for Thursday's game.

Harkless will not be available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to the league's COVID-19 protocol, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless is one of several Heat players going through contact tracing, so he'll miss at least one game as Miam heads into a three-games-in-five-nights scenario. At this time, it's unclear if Harkless will miss multiple games.

Harkless (forearm) isn't labeled on the league's injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless sat out Wednesday but returned to practice Friday, suggesting a return to action Saturday was likely. His removal from the injury report confirms that the veteran should be available to play some spare minutes off the bench.

Harkless (forearm) practiced Friday and should tentatively be considered questionable for Saturday's contest against the Wizards, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless's spot in the rotation might be gone by the time he's healthy, as he played 23 minutes and started in the opener but hasn't seen double-digit minutes in a game since. Kelly Olynyk seems to have claimed those minutes and is worth picking up off of waivers in a variety of formats.

Harkless (forearm) won't play in Wednesday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless will miss his first game this season with a left forearm bruise. His next opportunity to take the floor looms Saturday against Washington.

Harkless is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a left forearm contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old sustained the injury when he took a hard fall during Monday's win over Oklahoma City, and his status for Wednesday remains in question. Harkless was unable to practice Tuesday, so he'll need to show some improvement in order to play versus Boston.

The team didn't specify what type of injury Harkless is dealing with in relation to the fall. His status for Wednesday's contest against the Celtics is uncertain at this point.

Harkless isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old started Tuesday's blowout loss to Milwaukee but only ended up playing four minutes. Harkless played 23 minutes in the season opener but has seen only 13 minutes over the past two games.
