The Miami Heat are about to get back a player that can help them be an even deeper team. After sustaining a stress fracture in his left tibia 4 months ago, he underwent surgery and has been sidelined since then.
But now, it seems that McGruder is getting very close to a return for the Heat.
Rodney McGruder not inactive, but also will not be in uniform. But the return seems close, very close.
