The Miami Heat suffered a tough loss over the weekend and are preparing for their next game as the news and rumors ramp up.

Check out the latest buzz below.

Bosh Day-to-Day

Star Chris Bosh sat out of the Heat loss to the Bulls on Sunday, but said he should be back soon.

He was bothered by a slight strain in his left calf. No MRI is planned, but he did plan to meet with a team doctor on Monday to have the injury reevaluated.

“It’s a day-by-day thing so far,” Bosh said. “I had some soreness there that really didn’t let up, and it progressed over a day or so.”

“It’s one of those things that can get worse, if you don’t take care of it. It can be a lot worse than it has to be. So we have to take this precaution right now,” he added to ESPN

On ther other hand, the Miami Herald says Bosh could be out for several weeks, after Bosh said that if he plays too soon “the muscle could tear away from the bone.”

“Bosh is doubtful for [Tuesday’s], but he could be out a few weeks,” the Herald said, without citing where that diagnosis came from. 

It was the first game Bosh missed this season.

Coach Erik Spoelstra agreed that the injury needs to be handled carefully.

“With these types of things, you have to be very judicious how you approach it,” Spoelstra said. “He was very sore [Sunday] and [Saturday]. But he doesn’t remember exactly when it happened.”

McRoberts Could be Out for Season
