Chris Bosh Injury Likely To Sideline Him For A Couple More Weeks

The Miami Heat will have to deal with an ankle injury to Chris Bosh for at least a little while longer. Bosh said that he will probably miss another 1-2 weeks with a high ankle sprain, and coach Erik Spoelstra did not deny that timetable.

Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald has the story:

As seen at the end of the video, the players met for a fist bump after Bosh got to his feet and tried to walk it off. But the warm fuzzies ended there as a frustrated Bosh bemoaned Asik’s decision to dive after the game. From ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst:

Asik, of course, couldn’t have seen Bosh’s leg before the big Turk dove, unless Asik has the best peripheral vision in human history. Bosh’s comment speaks to much of the criticism of the former Raptor, that he’s too “soft” as a big man and avoids physical contact. That reputation probably isn’t fair, but quotes like “if it is by somebody’s leg, don’t dive for the ball” -- that’s not going to help Bosh.

One of the NBA’s premier matchups will be missing one of the NBA’s biggest stars thanks to LeBron James’ ankle injury.

The Miami Heat star will miss tonight’s game against the Bulls in Chicago thanks to an ankle injury sustained on Wednesday against the Clippers. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel’s Ira Winderman has a bit more:
