Pierce (toe) was a partial participant in practice Thursday and is considered questionable to play Friday.

Analysis:

Pierce was in and out of Thursday's practice as he continues to nurse a sore toe on his right foot, which kept him out of Tuesday's game. The team is officially listing him as day-to-day, and his status for Friday's matchup with Miami will be dictated by how he feels at shootaround. Otto Porter started in Pierce's place Tuesday, finishing with 10 points and five rebounds in 22 minutes.
