Heat's Wayne Ellington: To play Tuesday against Thunder

Ellington (hamstring) will return to action Tuesday against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

With Ellington and Rodney McGruder (ankle) both available for the Heat, the team will have a decent amount of depth on hand at the two wing spots, though Dion Waiters (groin) is still sidelined. Ellington is averaging 31.0 minutes per game on the season, but because most of his appearances came when the Heat were short on healthy wings, it's likely he'll see a significant downgrade in playing time in his return.
