Heat's Goran Dragic will sit out Sunday's game

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic will sit out Sunday's game versus the Detroit Pistons.

What It Means:

Dragic has been suffering from back spasms, causing him to miss three of the Heat's last four games now. Rodney McGruder has started in his place, but Josh Richardson and Tyler Johnson will be asked to shoulder the offensive load, especially with Hassan Whiteside out as well.

Our models project McGruder to play 31.2 minutes with 8.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 assists on Sunday.
