Heat's Rodney McGruder: Questionable for Friday

McGruder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

McGruder suffered a minor ankle sprain during Wednesday's game against the Hawks, but indicated after the contest that he doesn't expect to miss any time because of it. If McGruder ultimately can't play, it would be a huge blow to a Heat roster that will already be without Justise Winslow (wrist), Josh Richardson (ankle), James Johnson (shoulder), Luke Babbitt (hip) and Dion Waiters (groin). He'll receive treatment over the next 24 hours, with the hope of taking the court and should start and take on extended minutes if he's able to battle through the discomfort.
