Lucas will miss Sunday night's preseason opener against the Hornets, the Heat's official Twitter reports.

Analysis:

Lucas will be sidelined with a tight hamstring. The 32-year-old is looking to find a spot on a Heat's roster that is full of point guard depth, including the likes of Mario Chalmers and Goran Dragic. The injury certainly won't help Lucas's chances, although it shouldn't sideline him for an extended period.
