On Dec. 27, the Miami Heat ruled forward Josh McRoberts out indefinitely after he suffered a stress fracture in his left foot. That was the third issue with the foot over a seven-month period and some thought he could be lost for the season, but McRoberts felt he would return.
"I'll be back," McRoberts said at that time. "It's a setback, and it's never a good thing. It's always frustrating. It's always disappointing. But you try to stay as strong as you can and get through it and try to put things in perspective.
