Out for Friday's matchup
Fontecchio (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis
Fontecchio will miss a second straight game due to a left groin strain. The Heat's wing rotation is currently depleted with Norman Powell (groin) and Nikola Jovic (back) also sidelined, which should lead to expanded roles for Pelle Larsson and Kel'el Ware. Fontecchio's next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday against the Pistons.

Out with groin issue
Fontecchio has a left groin strain and will not play Thursday against the Nets.
Analysis
This is a new issue for Fontecchio for the front end of this back-to-back set. With this news, the Heat could rely more on Pelle Larsson and Kel'el Ware.

Garbage-time run in easy win
Fontecchio racked up 12 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 win over the Nets.
Analysis
With the Heat fairly healthy, Fontecchio is falling out of favor with head coach Erik Spoelstra. The 20 minutes were Fontecchio's first time in double digits since Feb. 11, and the enhanced workload likely had more to do with the blowout nature of Tuesday's contest.
