Heat's Luol Deng: Will play Friday

Deng (wrist) will play in Friday's Game 6 against the Heat, Ethan J. Skolnick of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Deng has his wrist wrapped, and indicated that he feels great after completing the Heat's pregame warmups. While Deng's optimism is a good sign, it remains to be seen how the injury will affect his performance. The Heat are very thin in the frontcourt, so Deng will have to carry the load at the power forward, and may even be asked to play center when coach Erik Spoelstra opts to run smaller lineups.
