Heat's Luke Babbitt: Doesn't play Monday in coach's decision

Babbitt (coach's decision) didn't play in Monday's 112-101 win over the Wizards.

Analysis:

Babbitt had missed the Heat's previous five games with a hip injury, but was given the green light to play Monday. However, coach Erik Spoelstra didn't call his number off the bench, which perhaps indicates Babbitt won't be included in the Heat's rotation right away. Babbitt is only averaging 4.2 points in 15.9 minutes per game on the season, so even if he eventually rejoins the rotation, he's unlikely to be in line for significant playing time.
