Heat's Rodney McGruder: Says he will play Friday despite ankle injury
McGruder rolled his ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks, but said he plans to play Friday against the Cavaliers, Anthony Chiang of the Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis:
McGruder's injury doesn't appear too serious, even though his foot was in a bucket of ice while giving interviews after the game, according to Chiang. Nevertheless, it sounds as if McGruder will be available Friday and receive a heavy workload, considering that the Heat are already down six people due to injury.
