Heat's Rodney McGruder: Goes through shootaround, will play Friday
McGruder (ankle) participated in Friday's shootaround and says he will play in the Heat's game against the Cavaliers, Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis:
McGruder suffered a minor ankle sprain in Wednesday's game against the Hawks, but it looks like he does not feel any ill-effects from it after shootaround Friday. McGruder being active is key for a Miami team that is banged up with injuries in the backcourt, so expect the guard to start and play a heavy dose of minutes in Cleveland.
