Miami Heat wing Duncan Robinson will undergo surgery Wednesday for his injured finger and will be out for a month, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

"Ultimately, you've got to make a decision," Robinson said about the surgery, according to Winderman. A second medical opinion revealed a torn ligament in Robinson's finger, the player added.

Robinson suffered the initial injury in November and has missed 10 of the Heat's last 23 games.

The 28-year-old has averaged 6.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 28 games for Miami this season. The sharpshooter is making 33% of his attempts from three.

The Heat are missing center Omer Yurtseven and rookie Nikola Jovic due to respective ankle and back injuries.
