Caleb Martin Sidelined Again

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) remains out on Saturday night versus Utah. He'll now miss his second straight game because of a sprained right ankle.

Jimmy Butler Removed From The Injury Report

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (calf) will play on Saturday versus the Jazz.

Joe Mixon Still A Must-Start In Week 17

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is off the injury report, meaning he's good to go for Sunday's meeting with the Chiefs.

Anfernee Simons Will Miss Another Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) won't play in Friday's rematch with the Spurs.
