TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Miami Heat swingman Mike Miller will be sidelined until January after undergoing surgery to repair a broken right thumb as well as ligament damage.
Miller was injured in a freak accident at practice on Wednesday. Friday’s surgery came on the same day guard Dwyane Wade — who has missed virtually the entire preseason — began working out again with the Heat after an absence to let his strained right hamstring recover and deal with a custody trial in Chicago.
Miller will be in a cast for four weeks, then in a brace for additional recovery time.
