McRoberts (foot) participated in a full contact practice Thursday for the first time since suffering his injury, Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

McRoberts was recently taken off the team's injury report, but continues to be held out of games, so he's clearly not back to 100 percent healthy. However, his availability for a full contact practice Thursday seems to indicate he's on the brink of a return, with his next chance to play on Friday against the Raptors. It wouldn't be surprising if he was ultimately held out for a few more games still, but look for him to be back on the court for game situations within the next week or two.
