Heat's Luke Babbitt: Back at practice Tuesday
Babbitt (illness) returned to practice Monday.
Analysis:
Babbitt missed Sunday's game against the Clippers due to the illness, but his return to practice implies that he'll be able to return to game action Tuesday against the Heat. Assuming that's the case, Babbitt could return to the starting lineup, effectively bumping Derrick Williams back to the bench and out of the rotation. Neither Babbitt nor Williams have acted as much more than a placeholder in the starting five this season, as reserve James Johnson has been dominating the minutes at power forward throughout the season.
