LOS ANGELES -- Goran Dragic will be taking a flight home sometime today to get both an MRI and treatment on his badly strained left calf and the Miami Heat nor Dragic are sure how long he'll be out.

So, can the Heat survive if its starting point guard is out for a significant amount of time?

“I don't know. I really don't,” Dwyane Wade said. “We'll see man. I think we'll be fine. We're going to miss what he brings especially in transition and in attack. Hopefully what the other guys bring -- it's not going to be Goran -- but its effective enough and it helps our team."

Wade is coming of a season-high 11 assists in Monday’s loss. So, he can do plenty of facilitating. But the Heat will miss Dragic’s scoring ability for sure.

“I play the game the same,” Wade said when asked if he’ll try and fill in for the loss of Dragic’s offense playmaking and scoring. “Some nights I come out really facilitate. Some nights I come out and really attack. Some nights I do both at the same time. I think its moreso going to be on Beno and how he approaches the game and what he feels he needs to do to get guys going, but also be aggressive because he can score the basketball. We need that position to be able to score as well. It will be more so on those guys than myself or Chris [Bosh]."

As it stands, it looks like veteran Beno Udrih will replace Dragic in the starting lineup with second-year combo guard Tyler Johnson coming off the bench and playing more minutes.

After struggling through November (10.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.4 rebounds), Dragic had begun to find his footing more in the Heat’s offense. Over his last 15 games, he’s scored in double figures in all but three of those games and averaged 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and five assists.

“Everyone deals with injuries, but it’s unfortunate,” Wade said. "I think Goran was starting to figure it out a little bit more what he needs to do, what's expected of him, figuring out the Eastern Conference.

"Like I said the other day, I was excited coming on this Western Conference trip because this is his backyard. To not have him these next couple games it's going to be a little different. But that's why Tyler Johnson is here and Beno [Udrih]. They're going to do a good job of stepping up and filling in."
