Heat's Luke Babbitt: Not expected to play Saturday

Babbitt (hip) is considered out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, but will still dress in case of an emergency situation, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Due to the Heat's injury situation, Babbitt will dress in case the team absolutely needs him. However, he has essentially been ruled out for the contest. James Johnson will presumably start at small forward as a result, while Wayne Ellington and Derrick Williams could get some run their as well.
