May 12 (The Sports Xchange) - The Miami Heat have declared forward Luol Deng as questionable for Game Six of the Eastern Conference semi-finals after an MRI exam on Thursday revealed a bruised left wrist. Deng was injured in Wednesday's 99-91 loss to the Toronto Raptors. He remains hopeful of playing in the pivotal Game Six on Friday after the MRI ruled out a fracture. Toronto leads the series 3-2. Miami center Hassan Whiteside remains unlikely to play after missing the last two games due to a sprained MCL in his right knee. - - - Toronto Raptors forward DeMarre Carroll is day-to-day with a left wrist contusion. Carroll landed hard on his wrist in the final minutes of the third quarter of Wednesday's Game Five win over the Miami Heat. As he rolled to his back, Carroll immediately clutched his left wrist in pain and was tended to on the court by trainers. Toronto will list him as questionable for Game Six at Miami on Friday and treat him "symptomatically" leading up to the game. Toronto lost center Jonas Valanciunas earlier in the series with an ankle injury. - - - (Editing by Mark Lamport-Stokes)
