Heat Links: Miami seeking salary exception to replace McRoberts?

Things are terrible for Miami right now, our players are sick and injured, to the point where assistant coach Juwan Howard is helping out on the practice court to provide an extra body. Tonight the Heat go up against the Nets, assuming Dwyane Wade is able to play it might be a competitive game, assuming he can't it might be another shot to the L column.

Re: Greg Monroe availability first reported by Sporting News.... Heard Heat inquired. But assets light, even b4 McRoberts injury.

Dwyane Wade (illness) did not participate in today’s team practice and is questionable to travel with the team to Brooklyn.

Spo on Bosh (calf strain): "He’s still sore. It’s rest and treatment for him in the immediate future."
