McRoberts will sit out Tuesday's preseason game against the Magic with minor knee soreness, Michael Wallace of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

The same issue kept McRoberts out of Monday's win over the Spurs, but it appears the Heat are just exercising some precaution with the big man, who is returning from season-ending surgery to repair a torn right meniscus. McRoberts hasn't experienced any notable setbacks in his recovery during training camp, and should be ready to go for the start of the regular season near the end of the month. He's slated to work as the power forward on the Heat's second unit, where he'll be joined by Mario Chalmers, Gerald Green, Justise Winslow, and Amar'e Stoudemire.
