With just 32 games remaining in the season, the Miami Heat are regaining a key player from their 2017 campaign. Rodney McGruder is working his way back into the lineup after a left leg stress fracture sidelined him in the preseason.
Starting in 65 games for the Heat last year, McGruder’s absence has come with a drastically different starting lineup for Miami. Along with Dion Waiters and Luke Babbitt missing much of the 2018 season, only two-fifths of the Heat’s starting five remained – Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside.
