Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours. On Sunday night, the sports world will be graced with the battle between two of the top young quarterbacks in the NFL with Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert. The Miami Dolphins selected Tua fifth overall back in the 2020 NFL Draft, while the Los Angeles Chargers selected Herbert sixth overall. For the first two seasons, it looks like the Dolphins had made the wrong choice at quarterback. Herbert was shattering rookie records and made impossible throws look easy. Tua struggled with injuries and a coaching staff that didn’t believe in him and now has an offensive system and the support around him to succeed. You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.

Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports Oladipo makes his welcome return to the court. For the first time this NBA regular season, the Miami Heat have upgraded the status of guard Victor Oladipo in the injury list today after missing the first 24 games. Oladipo briefly played in the preseason before being shut down with left knee tendinosis. With several players including Jimmy Butler potentially out tonight against the Detroit Pistons, the Heat could use Oladipo’s services tonight — albeit with an understandable minutes restriction. Erik Spoelstra says somewhat of a minutes restriction for Victor Oladipo, "He'll be out there."— Ira Winderman (@IraHeatBeat) December 6, 2022 “I’m encouraged by it,” coach Erik Spoelstra said before the game, according to Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel. “I believe the time is appropriate. This process will continue for the next amount of whatever.” Oladipo had been steadily ramping up his pregame workout routine in the last several Heat games even with his status remaining unavailable. He averaged 12.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in eight games last season.
