INJURY BUG HITS MIAMI

Udonis Haslem
When it rains, it really pours. With Mike Miller still out and Dwyane Wade coming in and out of the roster, now comes the most severe of all as hardworking forward Udonis Haslem maybe out of commission until the All-Star break. Bad news indeed for the powercast Miami Heat. The team is clearly struggling, no thanks to all these injuries. Haslem, who is currently averaging 8.0 ppg and 8.2 rpg in 13 games so far, suffered a torn ligament in his left foot during the Heat’s recent heartbreaking defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies, according to ESPN.

“An MRI exam Sunday confirmed that Udonis Haslem indeed has a torn ligament in his left foot, which will rob the Miami Heat of their ever-reliable power forward for at least six weeks and likely much longer.

“One source close to the situation told ESPN.com on Sunday night that there are fears Haslem will be sidelined until at least the All-Star break depending on whether he needs surgery.

“Haslem suffered the injury Saturday in the third quarter of Miami's loss at Memphis after he collapsed while defending the Grizzlies' Zach Randolph in the post. Teammates were told Haslem had a dislocated toe in addition to the torn ligament.”
