Well, Waiters still feels some discomfort from that injury. In fact, the 25-year-old shooting guard said Monday during Heat media day that his left ankle is still “a little swollen” even though he sprained it six months ago in March.
“Here and there, there will be aches,” said Waiters, who signed a four-year, $52 million deal this summer to stay with the Heat. “It’s nothing. Just got to stay on top of it.”
Waiters said he had the option of having minor surgery to repair the ankle, but decided against it. Despite the lingering pain, Waiters expects to be “full-go” when training camp opens Tuesday at Florida Atlantic University.
