Heat's Wayne Ellington: Returns to bench

Ellington will return to a bench role Tuesday against the Suns.

Analysis:

Though the Heat are down to only eight active players for Tuesday's contest, Ellington will still be forced to the bench since Goran Dragic (back) is set to return from a two-game absence. Even so, the extensive absences shouldn't result in Ellington losing out on much playing time after he logged 37 minutes in a loss to the Pistons on Sunday.
