Andersen (ribs) is expected to return for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis:
Andersen has missed the last five games with bruised rib, but indications are that he'll be able to play Wednesday in a rematch of the last two Eastern Conference Finals. With Justin Hamilton (groin) also injured recently, the Heat have missed Andersen's rim-protecting presence, and his impending return should alleviate some of the pressure on Chris Bosh defensively.
