Heat's Omer Yurtseven: Back in rotation, barely
Yurtseven finished Thursday's 129-101 win over the 76ers with four points (2-2 FG) and one rebound across five minutes.
Yurtseven saw playing time for the first time in well over a week, logging five minutes at the close of the game. Despite some per-minute upside, Yurtseven's role is basically non-existent any time the game is moderately close. He is a name to watch should he ever land in a favorable situation.

Heat's Omer Yurtseven: Meager role in loss
Yurtseven finished Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Bulls with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across five minutes.
Yurtseven has appeared in four straight games since making his season debut March 11, but he's played over 10 minutes just once and saw a season-low five minutes during Saturday's double-digit loss. Miami continues to go small with its second unit, as Max Strus and Caleb Martin were the top forwards off the bench behind Kevin Love, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Yurtseven is competing with Haywood Highsmith for the top backup center gig, but neither of them have produced enough recently to warrant attention during the fantasy playoffs.

Heat's Omer Yurtseven: Makes season debut
Yurtseven (ankle) logged seven minutes off the bench Saturday in the Heat's 126-114 overtime loss to the Magic, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound.
After recovering from mid-November surgery to address an impingement, bone spur and stress reaction in his left ankle, Yurtseven was cleared for game action earlier this month, but he had been limited to only two appearances in the G League before finally getting the chance to debut for Miami on Saturday. Yurtseven had been outside of the Heat's rotation, but he stepped in as the backup center behind starter Bam Adebayo when Cody Zeller exited early Saturday due to a facial laceration that required stitches. If Zeller isn't ready to play in the Heat's next game Monday versus Utah, Yurtseven could handle a 10-to-15-minute role behind Adebayo.

Heat's Omer Yurtseven: Will be available Monday
Yurtseven (ankle) has been elevated from the G League and will be available for Monday's matchup against the Hawks.
Yurtseven has yet to appear in an NBA game this season while rehabbing from offseason ankle surgery, but he recently completed a rehab stint in the G League that included playing in a game. He finished that contest with 27 points (9-19 FG), 10 rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes, so he appears to be 100 percent healthy and could carve out a backup role behind Bam Adebayo and Cody Zeller during the stretch run.

Yurtseven logged 27 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3PT, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes of Friday's 131-128 loss to Iowa.
Yurtseven made his first appearance with the Skyforce this season as part of his rehab process from ankle surgery. He immediately stepped into a massive role for the team, playing 37 minutes and tying for the team high with 27 points. It's unclear how long he will be with Sioux Falls, but he should remain a top option for the team for the duration of his stay.

Yurtseven has yet to play this season while rehabbing from offseason ankle surgery. This is a great next step for the second-year big man, but it's still unclear what the rehab assignment will entail. Even when he's healthy, it may be hard for him to crack the NBA rotation after the additions of Kevin Love and Cody Zeller.

Heat's Omer Yurtseven: Cleared for high-impact work
Yurtseven's left ankle has fully healed from surgery, and he's been cleared for high-impact work, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Yurtseven underwent successful surgery in mid-November to address an impingement, bone spur and stress reaction in his left ankle. He was deemed out indefinitely following the procedure, but it appears the big man finally has a return date in mind, as Jackson relays that Miami hopes Yurtseven is able to play in games following the All-Star break. When available, the undrafted product out of Georgetown figures to compete with Orlando Robinson and Dewayne Dedmon for the backup center job behind Bam Adebayo.

Heat's Omer Yurtseven: Likely to undergo surgery
Yurtseven (ankle) is expected to undergo surgery later this week and is out indefinitely, Anthony Chiang of The Miami Herald reports.
Yurtseven has already missed each of the Heat's first 13 regular-season games, and with surgery on tap, he'll be in store for an even longer absence to begin the campaign. According to Chiang, the Heat are hopeful that Yurtseven can make a full recovery from surgery in around three months, which would put his timeline to return somewhere around late February or early March. The 24-year-old big man will become a restricted free agent this summer.

The Heat have been listing Yurtseven as out with an ankle impingement since the team's first exhibition contest. The second-year big man is an impending free agent, so he may opt for surgery to rehabilitate before the offseason.
