Luol Deng (eye) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against Chicago, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.

Deng (eye) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports. "He's been given the green light," coach Erik Spoelstra said of Deng's status for Monday. "Having him back plugs a lot of holes for us."

Analysis:

Barring a setback, it looks like Deng is set to return Monday, as he'll go through pregame warmups with the intent to play. The veteran was a full participant in Monday's morning shootaround and has been medically cleared to play, as the eye injury that prevented him from suiting up in Friday's loss to the Raptors was ultimately diagnosed as a "really bad scratch." Deng should be in line for around 30 minutes of court time Monday.
