Luol Deng: Game-time decision Monday with hamstring issue

Deng is nursing a left hamstring injury and will be a game-time decision for Monday's contest against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Deng said he tweaked the hamstring in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the 76ers and will test out the injury in warmups on Monday night before a ruling on his status for the contest is made. The veteran forward was able to partake in the Heat's morning shootaround, but wasn't moving around at full speed, so the team will wait and see how he progresses over the afternoon. The Heat would likely use rookie Justise Winslow in the starting lineup at small forward if Deng ends up being ruled out for Monday's game.
