MIAMI (AP) Forward Rasual Butler was activated by the Heat on Friday before Miami played Memphis.

To make room for Butler, Miami placed center Wang Zhi-Zhi on the injured list because of right knee tendinitis.

Butler, who broke his left hand during the preseason, averaged 7.5 points and 2.6 rebounds in 72 games last season.

Wang was signed as a free agent on Dec. 1, but has not played for the Heat. He had four points in two games last month with the Los Angeles Clippers.
