Dion Waiters has missed 19 consecutive games since a MRI revealed a torn muscle in his groin area. He hasn’t practiced or been on the road with the team since then.
But for the first time, Waiters is expected to go with the team on their season-long 6-game road trip that starts Tuesday in Phoenix. This could mark the return, sometime on this trip, for Waiters.
“If I’m on the road, man, I’m playing. I’m trying to play. That’s my whole main focus, just trying to get back out there.”
Waiters has played well for Miami in what the beginning of the season showed.
