Robinson (back) is available for Sunday's Game 1 versus Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Robinson was unavailable for Miami's Play-In Tournament loss to Philadelphia but returned in a win-or-go-home contest versus Chicago on Friday, dropping eight points in 12 minutes of a blowout victory. He's a candidate to step into a larger workload Sunday, especially with Terry Rozier (neck) and Jimmy Butler (knee) out. However, the extent to which he'll play is unclear after experiencing aggravations with his ongoing facet syndrome in recent weeks.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Questionable for Game 1
Rotowire
Robinson is considered questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Celtics due to a back injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Robinson returned from a four-game absence during Friday's Play-In victory over the Bulls and recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes. His status for Sunday's playoff opener in Boston will presumably depend on how his back feels closer to tip-off. With Jimmy Butler (knee) and Terry Rozier (neck) sidelined, Robinson could see a healthy workload if his health is up to par.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Makes return in Play-In game
Rotowire
Robinson (back) recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes Friday in the Heat's 112-91 win over the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament.
Robinson missed the final four games of the regular season with left facet syndrome, but he was cleared to play in advance of the Heat's first game of the Play-In Tournament on Wednesday. He ultimately went unused in Wednesday's 105-104 loss to the 76ers, but a rotation spot opened up for Robinson on Friday due to Jimmy Butler (knee) being sidelined with an MCL sprain. Though Butler doesn't appear on track to return during the Heat's first-round playoff series with the Celtics, Robinson could be squeezed out of the rotation if Miami gets Terry Rozier (neck) back for Sunday's Game 1 in Boston.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Officially available for Friday
Rotowire
Robinson (back) is available for Friday's Play-In Game against Chicago, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Robinson was probable for Friday's matchup, so his availability isn't very surprising. However, he was also available for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the 76ers but didn't see any playing time. Jimmy Butler (knee) and Terry Rozier (neck) are both out, so Miami may need minutes of Robinson even if he isn't 100 percent.

Robinson missed the final four games of the regular season due to his back injury, and although he was available for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the 76ers, he didn't see any playing time.

Robinson (back) is available for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game versus the 76ers.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Limited at practice
Rotowire
Robinson (back) was limited at Tuesday's practice, Zachary Weinberger of Clutch Points reports.
Robinson missed the final three games of the regular season, but his limited participation suggests he's now considered day-to-day. Miami will release its official injury report Tuesday evening, so that's when fantasy managers can expect more clarity on his status for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Upgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Robinson (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Robinson recently said that he doesn't have a clear timetable to return to action, and it remains to be seen if he'll able to suit up for the final game of the regular season having missed each of Miami's previous three contests. Caleb Martin, Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez are among the players who could benefit from expanded roles if Robinson doesn't play Sunday.
Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Robinson was initially deemed doubtful for Wednesday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him downgraded to out for the second half of a back-to-back set. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Doubtful for Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson (back) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Robinson said Tuesday that he's without a clear timetable for a return after aggravating his back injury, so it's somewhat surprising that he's drawing a doubtful tag for the second leg of a back-to-back set. In any case, with Robinson still likely to miss a second straight game, Caleb Martin, Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez are among the players who could benefit from expanded roles.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Aggravates back injury
Rotowire
Robinson, who has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, said he wasn't able to fully feel like himself after returning from his back injury and is unsure when he might be ready to resume playing, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Robinson noted that his back issue has worsened across five contests since returning from a five-game absence due to left facet syndrome. He stated that his recovery plan has gone "back to the drawing board," per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, so Robinson looks safe to rule out for Wednesday's game versus Dallas, and he's uncertain to return for either of the Heat's final two contests of the regular season. Even if his back concerns hadn't resurfaced, Robinson would likely be in store for a lighter role during the upcoming week with Tyler Herro having recently returned from right medial foot tendinitis.

Robinson has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks with left facet syndrome.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Quiet again Tuesday
Rotowire
Robinson logged six points (2-7 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 109-99 victory over New York.
Making his second straight start since returning from a back issue that cost him five games, Robinson made little impact and was the only member of the Heat's starting five to register a negative plus-minus. The 29-year-old wing will likely get bumped to the bench as soon as Tyler Herro (foot) is deemed ready to return.
