Heat's Dragic returns from 3-game absence vs. Bucks

Point guard Goran Dragic returned to the Miami Heat lineup Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks after missing the last three games with a left ankle injury.

To say that's good news for the Heat would be an understatement. The team had lost six straight and was 2-8 on the season going into Thursday. Dragic is their second-leading scorer and top 3-point threat and assist man, and Miami is five points per 100 possessions better with the Slovenian on the floor.

After the home game against the Bucks, 10 of the Heat's next 13 games are on the road.
