The Heat may soon get some relief for its thin frontcourt.

Center Michael Doleac, out since the start of the season because of a right calf injury, said he has been cleared to return for the Heat's home game against the New York Knicks on Monday.

"It is a huge relief," Doleac said before the Heat played at Orlando on Saturday. "It's been frustrating to be out and hurt at the beginning of the season."
