Rodney McGruder (knee) doubtful for Heat versus Suns

Miami Heat shooting guard Rodney McGruder (right knee bruise) is doubtful to play on Monday against the Phoenix Suns.

What It Means:

McGruder made an early exit on Saturday after drawing the start in place of Justise Winslow (knee). His likely absence could create more opportunity for Duncan Robinson, who started the second half for McGruder, as well as Dion Waiters, Derrick Jones Jr., Dwyane Wade, and Goran Dragic.

McGruder got the start on Saturday with Justise Winslow (knee) sidelined, but ultimately exited early with his own injury. His potential absence will open up more time for Dion Waiters, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Jones Jr., Goran Dragic and potentially Duncan Robinson, who started the second half in place of McGruder.
