Andersen (knee) will not play Friday against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

This is essentially a formality, as Andersen did not travel with the Heat on their three-game roadtrip, which concludes Friday night. According to head coach Erik Spoelstra, Andersen is still a few games away from returning. The veteran has held a very limited role off the bench this season and is not of much fantasy utility in nearly any format.
