The Miami Heat's starting point guard in Goran Dragic missed the regular season finale due to a sore knee. Fans were curious as to what his situation is, but recently, Dragic said himself that he is ready for the playoffs.

As reported by Anthony Chiang of PalmBeachPost.com, the 31-year-old guard confessed that he might feel a little pain but it won't affect his performance:

“It feels way better now than it was two days ago,” Dragic said. “But I’m doing everything that I can. Probably, I’m going to feel it a little bit. But it’s not going to bother me. That’s the only thing that I’m about, I can play through the pain. But as long as it’s not bothering me, I’m OK.

“I’m going to feel it, but it’s not going to slow me down or anything. Even when you play through the game, it’s a lot of adrenaline and basically you don’t feel it.”
