Miami Heat small forward Luol Deng will return to action for Friday night's contest against the Orlando Magic.
Deng did not play in Wednesday night's defeat to the San Antonio Spurs due to a thigh bruise.
The 30-year-old is averaging 12.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and one steal in 63 games for the Heat.
Deng's return to the starting lineup means Josh McRoberts will make his return to the bench. McRoberts (minus-15) struggled in Miami's blowout loss Wednesday.
