McRoberts will make his first start with the Heat on Wednesday.
McRoberts has finally played himself into the starting lineup, after coming off the bench so far. He will be replacing Shawne Williams, and going forward, McRoberts' fantasy stock should be trending up.

McRoberts logged arguably his best game of the season Sunday against the Knicks, posting seven points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two three-pointers in 25 minutes of action.
McRoberts has yet to return to his old form ever since returning from his injury, but patience will be a virtue for owners in 14-man leagues. His multi-category production is certainly appealing, and once he's back to logging 30 minutes a game, he'll be worth owning in standard leagues. However, in the meantime, expect him to continue his limited production as he makes his way back to 100 percent.

McRoberts (foot) returned Thursday against the Clippers after missing three games.
McRoberts was only dealing with a blister on his foot, but had missed some time last week. He returned in the loss, only playing 14 minutes and scoring just two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), while pulling down two rebounds and finishing with one assist and a steal. McRoberts would have played more minutes if Luol Deng would have been out with a wrist injury, but Deng started the game.
Thu Nov 20 201418:45Josh McRoberts: (Foot) Will Play Thursday
McRoberts (foot) will play Thursday against the Clippers, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.
McRoberts was considered a game-time decision, but has now been officially ruled in for Thursday's contest. Through seven games this season, he's averaging 2.6 points, 2.7 boards, and 0.3 blocks in 12 minutes. He could have seen more minutes if Luol Deng (wrist) was unable to go, but now that he has also officially in as well, not much beyond his averages this season can be expected.
Thu Nov 20 201411:19McRoberts considered game-time call Thursday against Clippers
McRoberts is considered a game-time call Thursday against the Clippers, Shandel Richardson of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
McRoberts, who was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, has missed the last three games with a painful blister on his foot. He'll test out how it feels in warmups before an official decision is made.
Wed Nov 19 201412:46McRoberts (foot) full participant in Wednesday's practice
McRoberts (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
He has missed three straight games with the foot injury, but it is looking like he should be able to take the court Thursday against the Clippers.
Mon Nov 17 201418:24McRoberts (foot) will not play Monday against Nets
McRoberts (foot) will not play Monday against the Nets, Tim Bontemps of the New York Post reports.
McRoberts will join Dwyane Wade (hamstring) in missing his third straight game after both players sat out Friday and Sunday. McRoberts' injury is not considered serious - he's dealing with a blister on his foot - but it's a situation that requires a bit of time to recover, as it could easily be re-aggravated. Expect to see more of Shawne Williams, who has scored in double-figures in each of the last three games.
Sun Nov 16 201416:32McRoberts (foot) ruled out for Sunday's contest against Bucks
McRoberts (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
McRoberts has been dealing with a painful blister in his foot, which will keep him sidelined for the second straight contest. Shawne Williams will continue to see heavy minutes in McRoberts' absence, with Udonis Haslem and Chris Andersen also candidates to see extra work off the bench.
Fri Nov 14 201418:22McRoberts may play in limited minutes or sit out Friday
McRoberts may play in limited minutes or sit out Friday, as he's dealing with a painful blister on his foot, the Miami Herald reports.
McRoberts hasn't said anything about the blister before, so it must be a relatively new occurrence. Considering it's only a blister, it's tough to see him missing a prolonged amount of time. If he's limited during Friday's game, he'll need to be monitored on a game-to-game basis until the nasty blister disappears.

McRoberts played only 8 minutes and scored 2 points, to go along with 1 rebound and 1 assist against his former team on Wednesday.
The fact that Shawne Williams is still starting over McRoberts says how Miami currently values him. Until McRoberts (toe) is able to show he is fully healthy, owners should take note of how the Heat have handled him and act accordingly with their own lineups and rosters.

McRoberts (toe) made his season debut with three points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds in 11 minutes off the Heat bench in the win over Philadelphia on Saturday.
McRoberts missed the opener on Wednesday, but got his feet wet against the Sixers. Eventually, he will displace Shawne Williams in the starting lineup, but it appears he will have to ramp up his minutes after the injury.
Sat Nov 1 201418:02Josh McRoberts: (Toe) Available Off Bench Saturday
McRoberts (toe) will be available off the bench for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Coach Erik Spoelstra said that McRoberts will be used as "insurance," so it's possible that he won't even see his first action of the season Saturday. With that in mind, it might be better to look elsewhere since he hasn't made a full recovery quite yet.

McRoberts (toe) is officially listed as probable for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
McRobert's status has changed multiple times heading into Saturday's game, but he seems poised to enter the game if coach Erik Spoelstra needs him to take the court. The power forward said that he can play if needed, although Spoelstra will likely limit his time on the court if he ultimately does play.
Sat Nov 1 201412:00McRoberts' status downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game
McRoberts' status has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game, the Miami Herald's Joseph Goodman reports.
It was reported that he was probable for Saturday's game on Friday, but that is no longer the case. Still, after being a full participant in Friday's practice, it would be pretty surprising for McRoberts to remain sidelined, unless he has experienced a setback.

McRoberts (toe) will be inactive for Wednesday's season opener against the Wizards, the Associated Press reports.
After the conclusion of the Bobcats' (now Hornets) playoff run last season, McRoberts had bone spurs removed from a toe on his left foot. The ailment didn't stop the Heat from inking him in free agency with the hope that the presence of a young, versatile wing would aid in keeping LeBron James around. Alas, James opted to leave, and McRoberts recovery subsequently extended into the preseason. McRoberts' return date remains up in the air, meaning Udonis Haslem and Chris Andersen should earn additional run until the newcomer is healthy.
