PJ Tucker is on the practice court with Heat as he works back from calf strain. He shot off to the side. Adebayo remains in protocols. – 12:51 PM

Recency bias is a wild thing, but the job PJ Tucker did this season was really ideal, not only defensively, but offensively
Finished the season shooting 42% from deep, the best mark of his career
Tucker, Strus, and Martin all shot over 40% from three this season – 7:14 PM
