Philadelphia 76ers center Dewayne Dedmon (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The big man has been banged up lately due to left hip soreness, but is cleared to make his team debut on Saturday. Head coach Doc Rivers mentioned it's unlikely that Dedmon gets minutes in the rotation. Possibly, Dedmon gets into action if it's a blowout, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to do much of anything. That being said, Dedmon can be avoided in fantasy formats right now.
Dewayne Dedmon Listed As Questionable For Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers center Dewayne Dedmon (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man hasn't played since early January before he joined the Sixers. That being said, it's uncertain how Dedmon is going to fit into the rotation. Montrezl Harrell has been playing well as the backup center to superstar Joel Embiid. Possibly, Harrell loses a few minutes to Dedmon, but we'll wait and see how head coach Doc Rivers shakes out his rotation. Regardless, it's unlikely that Dedmon gets enough minutes to warrant rostering in any fantasy formats right now.
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is expected to play against the Nets. The 33-year-old journeyman has averaged only 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds this season, so it wouldn't be a huge loss for fantasy managers if he doesn't suit up. However, with Bam Adebayo (thigh) questionable, there's a chance Dedmon may see more action. Still, it won't make him relevant from a fantasy standpoint, especially since he likely won't start even if Adebayo isn't available.
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is set to make his return to the court on Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran big man has missed the six games due to plantar fasciitis and the league's health and safety protocols. It's nice to have him back on the court, but he's unlikely to make a significant impact. Bam Adebayo is healthy and should see the bulk of the playing time at the center spot. That being said, Dedmon and Orlando Robinson will go back to playing minimal roles.
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Spurs. He is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot and it's been bothering him for a while, with the veteran center a regular on the team's injury report. Despite the health issue, Dedmon has played in 21 of 26 games this season, putting up 6.9 points with 3.6 boards. He's been able to pop up with a few good performances, but Dedmon plays behind Bam Adebayo and typically doesn't get enough minutes to make a significant impact in fantasy hoops.
Bam Adebayo And Dewayne Dedmon Questionable Wednesday
The Miami Heat could be very thin in the frontcourt on Wednesday with centers Bam Adebayo (knee) and Dewayne Dedmon (foot) listed as questionable against the Toronto Raptors. With Udonis Haslem (personal) and Omer Yurtseven (ankle) out, the Heat have no true centers left on their roster if Adebayo and Dedmon are ruled out. Nikola Jovic would likely be asked to fill big minutes if either of them cannot go, but it would also be a good sign for Toronto's Chris Boucher. Boucher would be a great DFS option if Adebayo and Dedmon are ruled out.
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) will sit out Thursday's contest against the Golden State Warriors due to plantar fasciitis. Dedmon was questionable to play but came down to a true game-time decision and was ruled out minutes before tip-off. Dedmon is averaging less than 10 minutes per game this season, so there should not be any huge swings in the Miami rotation Thursday. Nikola Jovic may pick up a couple extra minutes while Bam Adebayo continues to hold the lion's share of the minutes at center.
Kyle Lowry, Dewayne Dedmon Earn Questionable Tags For Tuesday
Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) and center Dewayne Dedmon (illness) have been listed as questionable to suit up for Tuesday's contest vs. Philadelphia. Lowry has battled through a hamstring strain to start Games 3 and 4 of the series, but he has shot a combined 3-for-14 in that stretch, including going 0-for-8 from deep. Dedmon missed Sunday's outing due to an illness, which allowed the team to utilize smaller lineups. A backcourt absence from Lowry would funnel more fantasy intrigue toward Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro (ankle), and Gabe Vincent, while Bam Adebayo could see a handful of additional minutes if Dedmon is ultimately held out again.
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (illness) won't play on Sunday during the playoff matchup versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The 32-year-old is averaging only 4.0 points and 3.3 boards throughout the postseason, so he hasn't been a reliable producer for DFS managers. However, considering the number of Miami players on the injury report, there was a slight chance he could have seen more action in Game 4.
Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Atlanta Hawks. He battled through an ankle issue in Game 1 and played 15 minutes off the bench. The expectation is that Dedmon will play on Tuesday, but fantasy managers will have to wait until Tuesday for an official announcement. Regardless, Bam Adebayo is healthy, so Dedmon won't have a huge role with the second unit.
