3 years agoMiami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (leg) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The MRI on Tucker came back negative on Tuesday. Despite that, the Heat are going to take the cautious approach and rest the veteran forward. The hope is that this won't be a long term absence for Tucker. In the meantime, KZ Okpala should get additional playing time. He scored 16 points in 23 minutes during Tuesday's game. That being said, he could have some low-end streaming appeal while the Heat are banged up.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
