Luol Deng has a sore calf, will not play Tuesday

The Miami Heat will be shorthanded when they take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, as small forward Luol Deng will sit out due to a sore calf, the Heat announced.

Deng, who was absent from the Heat's morning shootaround, has only missed three of the Heat's 44 games to date. 

He has quietly enjoyed a solid campaign, averaging 14.3 points, five rebounds and 1.9 assists in 32.7 minutes per game. The crafty veteran forward is shooting 49.6 percent overall, including 37.6 percent on 3-pointers.

Without Deng, the Heat turn to Danny Granger, who has appeared in just 23 games this season.
