McRoberts (knee) will play Friday against the Bucks but he will be on a minutes restriction.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran forward will return to the floor Friday for the first time since Dec. 9 due lingering knee soreness. He will be on a minutes restriction given the length of time away from game action, but his return will eventually pay off for the Heat as he can add depth to their front court down the stretch.

EDGE Analysis

McRoberts is officially being listed as questionable on the Heat's injury report, but since he's missed the team's last 24 games and was unable to practice Sunday, it seems rather doubtful that he'd be available off the Miami bench. Expect him to join Goran Dragic (calf), Chris Andersen (knee), and perhaps multiple other players on the team's inactive list.

EDGE Analysis

McRoberts has missed 24 games in a row and joins seven other Heat members on the injury report, including center Hassan Whiteside (oblique).

He joins frontcourt members Hassan Whiteside (oblique), Luol Deng (eye), and Chris Andersen (knee) on the bench Friday night, leaving only Justise Winslow, Amar'e Stoudemire, Udonis Haslem, and Jarnell Stokes available. McRoberts next chance to return to the court will be on Monday when the Heat travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls.

It was originally believed that McRoberts would be out for the game, but now there is a chance that he takes the court on Friday night. Hassan Whiteside (hip) has been ruled out for the game, so having McRoberts back out on the court would be a huge boost for the depleted Heat. If McRoberts is ruled out, look for Jarnell Stokes and Udonis Haslem to see an increase in action.
