Heat anticipating the return of Goran Dragic (calf) on Friday night

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic said on Tuesday his strained left calf is feeling great, and he's on track to play Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

What It Means:

"I feel great," said Dragic. "I'm ready to play [Tuesday], but they said they wanted to make sure it's 100 percent healed." The Heat are taking a cautious approach with Dragic, but it sounds like he'll be good to go for Friday's game. Beno Udrih's and Tyler Johnson's values will take a substantial hit once Dragic is back on the active roster.

Dragic ranks 95th with a -2.2 nERD in 37 games played this season. He is averaging 12.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists while hitting 33 percent of his 3-pointers. His 20.2 Usage Rate is his lowest mark since his rookie season.
