MIAMI (AP)—Starting point guard Mario Chalmers(notes) injured his right knee in
the first quarter of the Miami Heat’s game against the Denver Nuggets.
Chalmers had to be helped to the locker room Saturday night, unable to put
any weight on his leg. The Heat said he would be re-evaluated on Sunday.
Chalmers has been Miami’s starter at the point for several weeks. He entered
the game averaging 6.7 points and 2.4 assists for Miami, which has just one
other true point guard—Mike Bibby(notes)—on the roster.
Also Saturday, the Nuggets lost Arron Afflalo(notes) in the first half after he
reaggravated a strained left hamstring.
