Shane Battier said he had no response to Roy Hibbert's accusation of intentionally kneeing him in the groin.
"I have no response. You’ll read about it in my book one day," Battier said. He was quiet in Game 2 and failed to score in 14 minutes, so Hibbert certainly has the last word at this point. May 25 - 12:46 AM

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier (chin) will play in Game 3 vs. the Bucks on Thursday.

Battier took a hard shot in Game 2, which caused a gash that required stitches, but he's in no danger of being limited as Miami seeks a vice-grip lead on their first-round series.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier received four stitches for a chin laceration on Tuesday.

He got a face-full of Larry Sanders in a collision in the fourth quarter. Battier is fine and was joking around in the post-game press conference, so he should resume his usual role with the second unit.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier did not travel to Cleveland will not play on Monday vs. the Cavs.

The Heat are already going to be without Dwyane Wade and likely LeBron James, meaning Chris Bosh will get his chance to star in the show if he plays. Mike Miller should get a lot of run with both Wade and Battier seated, with Ray Allen also seeing extended minutes.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier (rest) will sit again on Sunday.

Erik Spoelstra and the Heat are openly resting their key players down the stretch, and Battier's absence is not surprising. LeBron James, Mike Miller, Dwyane Wade and Ray Allen are all active on Sunday.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier (rest) will be held out of Friday's game against the Celtics.

Battier is listed as day-to-day, but with the big three back in action vs. Boston, his services were not needed and he'll get a night to rest. Ray Allen should see some more minutes against his former team with Battier sidelined.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier had 11 points and two 3-pointers in Friday's win over the Pistons.

Owners trolling for treys without turnovers at this time of the year should look no further. Over his last six games, Battier has 13 3-pointers and two turnovers.

Shane Battier (illness) will play on Tuesday against the Hawks.

Battier has no real fantasy value unless you're really desperate for 3-pointers.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier did not go through shootaround due to an illness and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.

Battier has stepped into a 3-point specialist role for the Heat, so if he's forced to sit, it could mean the seldom-used Mike Miller gets a taste of game action. Battier's absence could also thrust Udonis Haslem into more minutes and/or possibly Rashard Lewis.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier has not taken a 2-point shot since February 14.

Battier has taken 36 shots since February 14, all 3-pointers. Remarkably, he's made 22 of them, and since January 1, 88.5 percent of his shots have been from behind the 3-point line. He's become a specialist on the offensive end in order to spread the floor with guys like Mike Miller and James Jones not playing, and Battier is shooting a career-high 43.5 percent from distance this season.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier made all four 3-point attempts for his 12 points to go with two boards and one steal on Sunday.

He has been terrific in his role this year and he can thank LeBron James. Battier has made 14 more in-the-corner triples than any other player this year and most of them are off kick-out passes from James. His 3-point percentage is at a sterling 43.9 percent on the year and he can be viewed as a specialist in some deeper formats.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier (hamstring) returned to action on Friday, scoring 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting (all threes) with two rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes.

This is about as good as it gets for Battier, which needless to say puts him on the waiver wire in most if not all formats.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier (hamstring) is available to play on Friday.

Battier sat out of Tuesday's game with a hamstring issue, but he's good to go and will slide back into his normal role in the rotation against the Grizzlies.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier (hamstring) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Battier has some tightness and is listed as day-to-day. The Heat certainly don't need him to beat the lowly Kings at home. Look for Rashard Lewis and possibly Mike Miller to pick up the slack off the bench.

Shane Battier - G/F - Heat

Shane Battier hit 5-of-8 shots, all 3-pointers, for 17 points in Wednesday's win over the Hawks.

He's only come close to this kind of night twice this season, when he scored 18 in a November game, and 17 once in December. This was a fluke, and he should continue to be ignored except in the deepest of leagues, unless you're desperate for 3-pointers. He's now hit 26 of them in his last nine games.
