Chris Andersen (personal) will not be available Thursday night, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Andersen is tending to a personal matter and won't available Thursday against the Kings, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Andersen left the team with what coach Erik Spoelstra called an "excused absence." Spoelstra noted that Andersen is expected to rejoin the team in time for Saturday's meeting with the winless 76ers, which might finally afford him the opportunity to pick up some playing time. He's found himself outside of the rotation this season, appearing in just two of the Heat's games.
