The Heat are dealing with another injury, as first it was Dwayne Wade, now it’s a freak injury to Mike Miller. The injury to Miller was a right thumb issue that is expected to keep him sidelined for several weeks.
Miller was injured when the thumb on his shooting hand got tangled in a teammate’s jersey during practice Wednesday. The Heat have not revealed a formal diagnosis or possible recovery time, only saying that more tests were scheduled on Thursday.
“They say it’s not season-ending,” Heat forward Udonis Haslem said.
Miller is not on the trip with the Heat, and his injury is expected to be reviewed by hand surgeon Dr. Andrew Weiland. Miller had been starting at shooting guard during the preseason in place of Wade, who has missed all but the first 3:17 of the exhibition schedule with a strained right hamstring.
Miller was putting up 9.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 24.4 preseason minutes per game with Miami.
