Parks

Parks is day-to-day.

Parks will help back up Sean Rooks until Michael Olowokandi returns.

Parks was recently activated from the IL, and had 14 points in 32 minutes Saturday. Sean Rooks, with 3.2 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in February, has not been the answer as the starting center in Michael Olowokandi’s absence. Parks can’t help but do better than that, but he won’t have a lick of fantasy value.

Parks had been sidelined with a strained left quad.

Parks is not expected to have an important role with the Heat.

There go Isaac Austin’s chances of making the Heat. Parks averaged 6.3 points and 4.4 rebounds in 30 games for the Clippers last season. He’ll probably help back up Brian Grant.

Parks appeared in two games with Miami this preseason, averaging 5.5 points and 4.0 rebounds. He’ll be used as a reserve forward and center, at least until Troy Murphy returns.

Parks and Lampley were believed to be competing for one roster spot, but the Heat elected not to keep a 15th player.
