MILWAUKEE
- Miami Heat forward Michael Beasley missed his second
consecutive game with a hyperextended right knee and
guard Mario Chalmers was out with a sprained left
thumb.
Both
took part in the pregame shootaround before Saturday
night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but the team
decided to play it safe and made them inactive.
Beasley
had played in 105 consecutive games, including
starting the first 45 games of this season. He was
hurt in the first quarter of Miami's loss at Toronto
on Wednesday night and did not play against the
Detroit Pistons on Friday night.
Chalmers
sprained his left thumb when he caught it in a jersey
Friday night. Chalmers' streak of 128 consecutive
games played has ended. He is averaging 7.2 points.
