Andersen Sprains Ankle vs. Charlotte
Miami Heat forward Chris Andersen suffered a sprained ankle against the Charlotte Hornets Sunday night and will miss the remainder of the game.
The Heat's official Twitter account passed along the news on the forward:
Andersen, 36, registered 2.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per game prior to Sunday's matchup. If he is forced to miss any time, the Heat would be without a key reserve after already having key players out.
Tom Haberstroh of ESPN.com and Christy Chirinos of the Sun Sentinel passed along their thoughts:
Dwyane Wade and Norris Cole missed the game with injuries of their own, via Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel. Not having Andersen on the court would further deplete the already thin lineup against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
