 Quentin Richardson-G/F- HeatDec. 14 - 10:36 am et
There is no timetable for Quentin Richardson's return from a sore right hamstring.
``We'll give him another couple days and continue to reevaluate,'' said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. Yakhouba Diawara started on Sunday even though he hadn't played in weeks, because Spoelstra didn't want to disrupt his bench rotation. Neither Q-Rich nor Diawara should be in fantasy lineups this week.

 Quentin Richardson-G/F - Heat Dec. 13 - 5:39 pm et  

As expected, Quentin Richardson (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Grizzlies.
Yakhouba Diawara will get the start in his place, but is very unlikely to do anything worthwhile in fantasy leagues. Richardson is going to sit out until he is fully healed, and he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game, as well.

 Jermaine O'Neal-C - Heat Jun. 9 - 3:34 pm et  

Heat center Jermaine O'Neal has exercised his $23 million contract option for next season, as did forward Yakhouba Diawara (just under $1 million).
Two other Heat players are expected to opt-in for next season -- Mark Blount ($8 million) and Chris Quinn ($1.1 million). Other Heat roster changes include Jamaal Magloire and Luther Head becoming unrestricted free agents, while Joel Anthony and Jamario Moon will become restricted FAs.

 Jamario Moon-F - Cavaliers Apr. 10 - 7:06 pm et  

Jamario Moon missed Friday's game with a groin injury.
This came out of nowhere, but he was playing poorly enough that he shouldn't have been in too many lineups to begin with. Michael Beasley will get a rare start tonight at power forward, while Yakhouba Diawara will slid over to small forward.

 Yakhouba Diawara-G/F - Heat Apr. 4 - 10:30 pm et

Yakhouba Diawara started at PF for the Heat on Friday, finishing with 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting, four 3-pointers, four rebounds, one block and zero turnovers in 29 minutes.
This was a thoroughly impressive (and surprising) outing for Diawara, who probably locked up the starting PF job until Udonis Haslem (finger) returns from injury. He averaged less than eight minutes per game in February and hadn't scored double-digit points since January, so don't drop anyone too valuable for him just yet.
 Jamario Moon-F - Cavaliers Feb. 28 - 10:23 pm et  

Jamario Moon moved into Miami's starting lineup on Saturday, finishing with 17 points, three 3-pointers, 12 rebounds, one steal and zero turnovers in 39 minutes.
Heat coach Eric Spoelstra described the starting small forward spot as "fluid", but it looks like Moon's job to lose. Ex-starter Yakhouba Diawara did not even leave the bench, and James Jones had just eight points in 20 minutes off the bench. If Moon is available in your league, pick him up before it's too late.
