Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (knee) has missed the team's last two games with left knee tendinosis and he's doubtful to make his return on Monday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. The good news is that Kevin Love (shoulder) is probable while Haywood Highsmith (knee) is out and Josh Richardson (heel) is also doubtful. Martin has only been able to play in the season opener so far this year, and couldn't reach the 20-minute mark in that contest. If he remains out, Love should see most of the opportunities while Nikola Jovic may see the floor again as well.

That said, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro should be the top performers versus Minnesota, with guys like Duncan Robinson (foot), ... [More]

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (knee) is officially listed as probable to take the floor against the Boston Celtics on Friday night. The 28-year-old played 20 minutes off of the bench in their first game against the Detroit Pistons but he was unable to put up many stats.

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (knee) hasn't been able to play in preseason due to left knee tendonitis, but he could be available for the regular-season opener next Wednesday.

Following his outstanding play during the 2023 playoffs, Martin enters the 2023-24 campaign with extra expectations on his shoulders. He totaled 12.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 30.2 minutes during the postseason.

He was also instrumental to the Heat's success during the postseason by logging 19.3 points per game in the Eastern Conference Finals. The 28-year-old should see a more consistent role throughout the 2023-24 campaign, considering the team lost Max Strus and Gabe Vincent during the offseason. That said, while Martin's current case of tendinosis doesn't sound severe, it's something that could pop up at some point throughout the 2023-24 campaign.
