Ronny Turiaf (hamstring) returned to action on Thursday, playing 18 minutes on his way to five points, five boards, three steals, and one block. Turiaf won't play in loose games like this every time out, so playoff owners shouldn't get overly excited about this line. He will, however, provide some much-needed toughness and we wouldn't be surprised to see him in the game during some key moments.

Ronny Turiaf (hamstring) is expected to be ready for the playoffs. Turiaf has been sidelined for the majority of his tenure with the Heat, but he should be cleared to play in the postseason.

Ronny Turiaf (hamstring) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Celtics. It's Turiaf's seventh straight games on the sideline and there's no target date for a return.

Ronny Turiaf (hamstring) is once again inactive on Wednesday. Dexter Pittman will start at center in Turiaf's absence, even though Joel Anthony is available.

Ronny Turiaf (hamstring) will not play in Monday's game against the Nets. Turiaf was the Heat's starting center for five straight games earlier this month, but he predictably got injured and has now missed three straight. There's no target date for his return.

Ronny Turiaf (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's Heat game against the Bobcats. With Turiaf, Udonis Haslem (stomach virus) and Wade (rest) all out, Joel Anthony is getting the start for Miami and is a decent last-minute plug-and-play if you need rebounds in a deeper league.

Ronny Turiaf had eight points, nine rebounds, a steal and two blocks in Sunday's win. The nine boards were his most with Miami and he is starting to come on a bit. If you're in a deep league and are desperate at center, give him a look.

Erik Spoelstra said that Ronny Turiaf's move to the starting lineup was not "set in stone." Turiaf is worth keeping an eye on for as long as he's starting over Joel Anthony, but regardless of who is starting, neither big man offers upside in the majority of fantasy formats.

Ronny Turiaf, not Joel Anthony, will start at center in Tuesday's game against the Sixers. Anthony is not known to be injured, so it's a strange move considering he's started 50 games for the Heat this season. It's unclear if this is a permanent move or if coach Erik Spoelstra is just shaking things up with Dwyane Wade (knee) out of the lineup. Turiaf does have elite shot-blocking ability, so extreme deep-leaguers should be monitoring the situation.

Ronny Turiaf made his Heat debut on Friday, scoring four points on 2-of-2 shooting with four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 11 minutes off the bench. Turiaf needs to prove his value in Miami before owners should go seeking it out. The injury prone player certainly fulfills a need for the Heat, but he needs to withstand 20-25 minutes per game before he'll carry any real value.
