Heat's Luol Deng: Has a negative MRI, could play in Game 6

Deng (wrist) was diagnosed with a bruise in his left wrist and is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 6 against the Raptors, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Deng underwent an MRI on Thursday to determine the extent of the left wrist he suffered when he fell to the court after tripping over a photographer during Wednesday's Game 5 loss. With the results of the MRI coming back negative, it looks as though Deng's wrist injury isn't particularly serious, but he could still be in too much pain to suit up Friday. The Heat will likely reevaluate Deng during Friday's morning shootaround before having a better idea on his status for the game later in the evening.
