Dragic, 34, was injured in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Heat were blown out in the game and lost big man Bam Adebayo as well.
Neither Dragic or Adebayo has suited up for Miami since Game 1, but the Heat were able to win Game 3 on Sunday night.
Star Jimmy Butler turned in a 40-point triple-double to lead the way for Miami.
The Heat still trail 1-2 in the series, but if they are lucky enough to get Adebayo or Dragic back, it could drastically alter the series.
Dragic was playing some of his best basketball prior to the injury and was a big reason Miami even made the Finals.
This year during the regular season, Dragic averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.
