Andersen will be active for Tuesday's matchup with Atlanta, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.

Analysis:

Andersen has yet to appear in a game this season, and the 37-year-old appears poised to step into a reduced role this season after averaging more than 18 minutes per contest in 2014-15. His active designation Tuesday comes on the heels of the Heat ruling out Amar'e Stoudemire (knees, rest).
