Goran Dragic looked like he was ready to spar after Tuesday's 93-92 loss to Detroit.

The Heat's starting point guard had wraps on both hands, the one on his right hand to support his sore thumb -- which has been bothering him for a while -- and the one on his left hand to support his inflamed wrist.

Dragic isn't exactly sure of the origin of the latter ailment, other than that the wrist blew up on him after Sunday's win against Portland.

An MRI was negative, as was an X-ray, so the team suspects it's tendinitis.

Even so, Dragic couldn't commit to playing Friday on Christmas against New Orleans, not until he sees the swelling go down. He said he might be able to deal with the injury, if he could use his other hand completely, but he can't do that either.

In Dragic's place, Beno Udrih played well, making 7-of-11 shots in 34 minutes, recording 14 points, three rebounds and six assists, as well as a plus-12.

Miami, however, was minus-13 in Josh Richardson's 14 minutes.

The Heat is now minus-48 in the rookie's 120 minutes.
