Dion Waiters

Miami will be without Dion Waiters (ankle) on Wednesday night

Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters (ankle) will not play Wednesday versus the Charlotte Hornets.

What It Means:

Waiters isn't currently traveling with the team on their three-game road trip, so it puts his status in doubt for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors or Saturday's tilt with the Washington Wizards. Josh Richardson will continue to start while Tyler Johnson and Wayne Ellington also see extra run. Waiters doesn't need to be owned.

Richardson has started 29 contests this season. In those games, he's averaging 11.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 3-pointers on 33.7-minute workloads.
