On the season, the journeyman is putting up 21.4 points, 7.2 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. He’s trying to raise the Heat’s ceiling and get them back to a high level of contention.
The Heat hold a 28-26 record and are the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference. They take on the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night.
