Miami Heat’s Kasparas Jakučionis will miss Sunday’s game against the Lakers due to a hip injury, continuing his absence from official games this season. Dru Smith will maintain his role as the backup point guard for the team’s upcoming matches on their road trip.

Kasparas Jakučionis has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Spurs due to a hip injury, delaying his anticipated debut. This development allows Dru Smith to continue serving as the backup point guard behind Davion Mitchell. The timeline for Jakučionis’s return remains uncertain.

Kasparas Jakučionis will miss Friday’s matchup against the Grizzlies due to a hip injury. After already sitting out the season opener, his absence extends, delaying his debut. Dru Smith is expected to cover backup guard duties behind Davion Mitchell, though he logged just 14 minutes in that role previously.

Kasparas Jakučionis sat out Thursday’s practice due to a sprained left wrist, as reported by Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald. Although the MRI showed no fractures, the rookie’s absence is untimely as he misses a chance to vie for increased playing time with Tyler Herro sidelined. While not essential in standard fantasy drafts, Jakučionis remains a player to monitor as the preseason progresses.
