Deng (hamstring) will come off the bench Wednesday night against the Hornets, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng is expected to be eased back into the game 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 and rookie Justise Winslow.
