Heat's Justise Winslow: Will take the court Friday

Winslow (back) will play in Friday's preseason finale against the 76ers, Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Winslow sat out the Heat's last two exhibition games with the back injury, but his return to the starting lineup Friday shows that he's in good condition heading into the regular season. The second-year forward is bound to take on an increased role this season as the Heat look to compensate for the offensive firepower they lost in Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh (blood clots) and Luol Deng.
