Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra says the expectation is that forward Justise Winslow will return to practice on Tuesday.
Winslow has recovered from his concussion. The lefty took a nasty hit from Denver Nuggets big man Paul Millsap.

Winslow is averaging 13.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists on the season for the Heat. The lefty is shooting 38.9 percent from the field, 25.0 percent from beyond the arc and 58.8 percent from the free-throw line.
The Heat are 11-4 on the season. They are tied with the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference.
Miami is coming off a blowout loss to the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers. The Heat lost by a final score of 113-86. They will look to get back in the win column on Monday at home against the Charlotte Hornets, who are coming off a loss to Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls.
After missing the playoffs last season, the Heat are well on their way to making it back to the postseason with Jimmy Butler leading the way. Butler is averaging 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. He's been everything Miami envisioned it was getting when it acquired Jimmy over the summer.
Getting Winslow back in the lineup will be huge for the Heat. He's a versatile player who impacts the game on both ends of the floor.
