Myron Gardner Fantasy Stats

Miami Heat forward Myron Gardner (ankle) will miss the remainder of Summer League after spraining his ankle in Friday's California Classic opener against the San Antonio Spurs, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Gardner exited that game after posting two points, four rebounds, and two assists in seven minutes, then missed Sunday's matchup with the Lakers. The injury costs the 25-year-old valuable developmental reps after he averaged 3.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists for Miami last season. He remains off the fantasy radar unless injuries open a clearer regular-season role.

Miami Heat forward Myron Gardner (ankle) exited early from Friday's California Classic opener against San Antonio, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Gardner was held to two points in just 6:50 after spraining his left ankle. There's no fantasy alarm to sound here. This is a summer-league tweak rather than a regular-season injury, and no timeline has been given. Gardner is a deep-bench piece anyway: the 25-year-old undrafted forward parlayed a strong midseason stretch in the starting lineup into a standard three-year deal last February, but he averaged just 3.6 points in a spot role, and Miami's rotation is now built around Giannis Antetokounmpo. He wasn't a redraft factor before this, and a minor summer ankle doesn't change that.

Miami Heat small forward Myron Gardner will fill in for Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks, making his second career start. Gardner's first start occurred a couple of games back, and he performed well in a clash with the Chicago Bulls. Across 23 minutes of action, the 24-year-old rookie notched 12 points, 11 rebounds, and two steals. Davion Mitchell, Pelle Larsson, Simone Fontecchio, and Bam Adebayo will also start for the Heat. These teams play at the highest pace in the NBA, creating a perfect environment for big fantasy lines.
