Heat's Luke Babbitt: Out Wednesday vs. Hornets

Babbitt (hip) will sit out Wednesday's tilt with the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Babbitt was given a doubtful designation earlier Wednesday, so this was the expected course of action all along. James Johnson has been announced as a starter in his place and should see a bigger workload, while Okaro White is in line to see increased minutes off the bench. Babbitt's next opportunity to play will be Friday against the Raptors.
