Deng has been riddled by this all season and played through it. With the emergence of Whiteside, we would be okay if Andersen missed games - but Deng is hard to replace - next to UD and Whiteside he is by far the one to play hardest throughout an entire game - And I think that is why he is in and out of the lineup - he brings it every night and goes the extra mile when he knows he has to.
Even when healthy , the Heat should’ve kept him in a bench role and never taken Shawne Williams out of the starting lineup/rotation. This way they can better manage Deng’s injuries and not taken Williams out of the lineup for virtually no other reason.
They should consider the approach. Bring back Williams as a starter, play Deng his regular minutes still is possible in that case. This way we can benefit all that Deng brings and we can allow Williams to bring the 3pt shooting.
We may not be a deep team, but we could make better use of some guys left on the bench.
