Miami Heat center Omer Yurtseven is moving closer to a return but first begins his comeback in the G League. 

He makes his debut Friday for the Sioux Falls Skyforce

Yurtseven has yet to play this season after undergoing ankle surgery during training camp. He posted a video on the Skyforce Twitter account saying he is ready to be back. 

LOWRY STILL OUT

When the Heat play the New York Knicks Friday, it will mark the 10th straight missed game for guard Kyle Lowry because of a knee injury.

Spoelstra said there is no timetable on his return.

"He's making progress," Spoelstra said. "I do not have a specific time now. He had a good week and we'll keep on progressing."

The Heat expect to have Lowry at some point this season but Gabe Vincent has played well as the replacement starter.

"He working making sure that he's healthy," Spoelstra said of Lowry. "That's the most important thing as we move forward. He's been able to grind through a lot of different pain and discomfort because he's tough. He's a competitor ... We want to get him feeling right."
