Andersen (ribs) will not play Sunday against the Mavs, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Andersen will miss his fifth straight game but appears close to a return. With two days off following Sunday's contest, the Heat are likely erring on the side of caution. Expect to see more of Udonis Haslem and Shawne Williams, as Justin Hamilton (groin) is also out Sunday.
