McRoberts (toe) will be inactive for Wednesday's season opener against the Wizards, the Associated Press reports.

Analysis:

After the conclusion of the Bobcats' (now Hornets) playoff run last season, McRoberts had bone spurs removed from a toe on his left foot. The ailment didn't stop the Heat from inking him in free agency with the hope that the presence of a young, versatile wing would aid in keeping LeBron James around. Alas, James opted to leave, and McRoberts recovery subsequently extended into the preseason. McRoberts' return date remains up in the air, meaning Udonis Haslem and Chris Andersen should earn additional run until the newcomer is healthy.
