Emotional Goran Dragic admits chances are ‘low’ he plays in Finals

Dan Patrick reflects on Jimmy Butler's incredible performance in Game 3 and determines whether the Heat can get back going in the NBA Finals against the Lakers.

Bam Adebayo is now listed as questionable and might play in Game 4 Tuesday night.

Goran Dragic is still doubtful with a torn plantar fascia, and you could hear it in his voice Monday just how much not playing on this stage hurts him.

“I want to be out there with my team. That’s no secret. That’s what I was working my whole career for 12 years in the NBA...” Dragic said.

“Most of the times I ask myself, I ask the guy above us why it has to happen right now. It’s tough. It’s tough.”

Dragic wants to remain hopeful but said pain is limiting his movement.

“I’m dealing with a lot of pain, so that’s the main concern,” Dragic said. “I don’t want to be a liability there on the floor for my team. I want to be the best that I can be. It’s just -- it is what it is.”

Goran Dragic knows the chances he gets to play in the Finals are slim, but he holds out hope.

“How I feel right now, it’s probably is low,” Dragic said. “They told me that it can change day-to-day. It’s just a matter of comfort, and if I can push off my leg. I do have to admit, it’s better than it was.”
