Gerald Green is expected to rejoin the
Miami Heat soon after being hospitalized last week for an undisclosed reason.
While the team again offered no update on the 29-year-old guard, a source familiar with the situation said Green is expected to be back with the team at some point soon.
Coach
Erik Spoelstra opened his Monday media briefing by saying there is no further update on Green, reiterating, "He's healthy; he's safe."
However, Spoelstra later said, "I speak with him daily."
Green, who no longer is hospitalized but remains in South Florida, has been in touch with his teammates.
"We've texted back and forth a few times," guard
Dwyane Wade said. "He's doing fine. I haven't seen him."
Green has missed the past four games, the first one when he was listed as being ill by the Heat prior to last Tuesday's loss to the
Atlanta Hawks at AmericanAirlines Arena. He then was hospitalized last Wednesday.
Green is not expected at AmercanAirlines Arena for Tuesday's game against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.
