The Miami Heat have not been at full strength lately, and it appears another week or two will go by before that situation is rectified.
Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald reports:
Heat forward Chris Bosh indicated Monday that he could be sidelined for an extended period of time due to his high ankle sprain.
Bosh injured his ankle more than a week ago when Omer Asik of the Chicago Bulls fell on his leg while diving for a loose ball. A week after the sprain, Bosh was still experiencing too much pain to run on a treadmill. On Monday, Bosh sat out another practice. Guard Eddie House also did not practice due to an ankle sprain.
“It’s quite boring to be me right now at work,” Bosh said. “I’m still just trying to feel it out. It’s a different situation. I’ve never had a high ankle sprain. I don’t really know how to gauge anything.”
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Bosh isn’t “ready for anything full speed, or side-to-side or with contact.” The coach also didn’t refute questions that Bosh could be out one or two more weeks.
The Heat are currently 31-13 and are the second seed in the Eastern conference, behind the Boston Celtics.
