Heat's Dragic leaves game with back contusion; unsure for Saturday
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
Goran Dragic left Friday's game against the Washington Wizards with a lower-back contusion and never returned for the Miami Heat.
Dragic, who's been dealing with back spasms recently, left late in the third in the midst of a 47-15 Heat run.
The Heat could have used the All-NBA guard down the stretch, as their rally from a 35-point deficit came up just short in a 99-97 loss. Dragic finished with 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting to go with seven assists and five rebounds.
After the game, he told reporters his back locked up after a hard fall. Dragic added that he isn't sure about night two of the Heat's back-to-back at home on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings.
