Heat's Luke Babbitt: Will travel with team

Babbitt (hip) didn't practice Tuesday, but will travel with the team ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Analysis:

Babbitt was forced from Sunday's game against the Nuggets after suffering a strained right hip flexor. With the Heat currently tied for the final remaining playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, they need all hands on deck, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Babbitt fight through the injury Wednesday. If the Heat err on the side of caution and keep Babbitt out, Okaro White could get the start at power forward, but James Johnson would see the bulk of the minutes at the position, as is often the case.
