We're assuming Pittman's shoulder was the issue, but regardless he's not an impactful player in fantasy leagues.

As pointed out by Ira Winderman, "The Bucks don't even play a center, so [Pittman's injury] shouldn't be a problem Monday." The injury doesn't seem serious and he's day-to-day, but Miami will likely hold him out vs. Milwaukee as a precaution.

Dexter Pittman has used the lockout to concentrate on improving his body at the advice of LeBron James.

James told Pittman to stay and shape and "be ready," and added that Pittman was going to to be a "big part" of what Miami does in the future. The Heat would really get a boost if Pittman does prove capable of contributing, and it's worth noting his renewed commitment considering the absence of an offensive threat in the middle for the Heat.
