Deng (hamstring) will come off the bench Wednesday night against the Hornets, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.
Analysis:
Deng is expected to be eased back into game action by head coach Erik Spoelstra, and will likely face a minutes restriction Wednesday night. After missing two weeks with a nagging hamstring injury, Deng's return will eat into the minutes of Gerald Green, who will continue to start at small forward for at least Wednesday's game, as well as rookie Justise Winslow.
