He has missed the last 19 games since suffering the injury against the Suns on Nov. 13. He’s averaging 15.5 points per game this season, but on considerably higher volume and with less efficiency than he operated last season. He is shooting 36.7% from the floor and 37.3% from 3-point range after making 50.7% of his field goals and 43.1% of his 3-pointers last season.
Guard T.J. McConnell is out for the game due to right hamstring soreness. Ben Sheppard, Tyrese Haliburton, Isaiah Jackson and Obi Toppin remain out.
The Heat will be without Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.
