Heat's Josh McRoberts: Said to be making progress

Coach Erik Spoelstra said McRoberts (foot) is making progress in his recovery, and hasn't been ruled out for the remainder of the season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

The Heat have considered McRoberts out indefinitely since he was first diagnosed with a stress reaction in his left foot in late December, and given that he broke the same foot last spring, there was some thought the big man could be shut down for the rest of the season. It appears that isn't the case, but McRoberts will likely need to resume practicing in the next couple weeks if he's to have a realistic chance at playing again before the regular season draws to a close in mid-April.
