The Miami Heat's injury report listed Ryan Conwell as cleared on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 12:18 p.m. ET, an upgrade from Day-To-Day. The 22-year-old guard is in line to play when Miami opens its season at the Raptors on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV.
What happened
The injury report moved Ryan Conwell to cleared on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 12:18 p.m. ET. He had been listed Day-To-Day, and the updated report carries no detail on the injury and no additional comment. Conwell first appeared on the report on Sunday, Sept. 6, when he was listed Day-To-Day with a hip and torso issue. No expected-return timeline has been announced, and his status is simply cleared heading into the week.
What it means for the Heat
Miami opens the season on the road against the Raptors on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV. The Heat have not played a regular-season game yet and are 0-0. Last season, with Conwell out of the rotation, minutes went to Bam Adebayo (32.4 minutes, 20.1 points), Tyler Herro (31.3 minutes, 20.5 points), Andrew Wiggins (30.3 minutes, 15.4 points), Norman Powell (29.6 minutes, 21.7 points), Davion Mitchell (28.6 minutes, 9.3 points), Jaime Jaquez Jr. (28.3 minutes, 15.4 points), Pelle Larsson (26.4 minutes, 11.4 points) and Kel'el Ware (22.1 minutes, 11.1 points).
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Conwell's cleared status holds through the opener at Toronto. No expected-return timeline has been announced beyond the clearance itself. Elsewhere on Miami's report, Dru Smith is out with a calf injury and Myron Gardner is Day-To-Day with an ankle issue as the Heat head into their season opener Saturday.

When will Ryan Conwell be back?
He is already cleared. The Heat have not played a game this season, so there is no absence to return from, and no further timeline has been announced beyond the clearance.
