Heat's Wayne Ellington: Will move back to bench role Monday

Ellington will return to the bench for Monday's matchup with the Magic.

Analysis:

Ellington has started the last three games in place of the injured Dion Waiters (ankle), but with Waiters healthy and slated to rejoin the top unit, Ellington will be relegated to his usual bench role. Ellington has averaged 29.7 minutes per game over the last three games, but should see a significant drop now that Waiters is healthy. With Josh Richardson (ankle) also nearing a return, there's a chance Ellington's playing time takes another hit in the coming few games.
