Dion Waiters is trying to tough it out, but it’s clear his right elbow is bothering him and didn’t get any better after he banged it hard once again setting a screen Monday night in a win over the Grizzlies.
The Heat’s starting shooting guard, who initially hyperextended his right elbow in last Wednesday’s loss in San Antonio, shook off the big hit he took early in the first quarter Monday when he collided with Grizzlies center Marc Gasol.
But Waiters attempted only five shots – four from inside the paint and near the basket – in 24 minutes and 20 seconds worth of action.
