Michael Beasley suffered a left knee injury during the second quarter of last night's game at Cleveland.
Beasley underwent an MRI examination this morning that revealed a hyperextended left knee. Beasley is expected to be sidelined for at least the next three games (vs. Denver, vs. LA Clippers, vs. Toronto) and will be re-evaluated at that time.
In 50 games (five starts) this season, Beasley is averaging 9.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.1 minutes per contest. He leads the team in field goal percentage (career-high 54.2) and is connecting on a career-high 42.1 percent (16-38) of his 3-point field goal attempts.
Beasley, 28, was acquired from Houston in a trade that sent guard Tyler Ennis to the Rockets on Sept. 22.
Chris Bosh made his debut on TNT on Monday as an analyst for their "Players Only" programming.
Bosh isn't ready to give up on his playing career, however, and still is working out.
"My health is great," Bosh said during Monday night's broadcast. "I'm feeling good, still working out and just really still staying ready."
Bosh didn't discuss whether he's still battling the blood clots that derailed his 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Bosh's last NBA game was Feb. 9, 2016. A blood clot was found in his calf two days later, he went back on blood-thinning medication and his playing future has been uncertain ever since.
"I think one of the interesting things that I didn't anticipate was my mental health, and that's something that as athletes we have to take into regard because we're used to a set schedule and we're used to a certain type of world," Bosh said. "And that's something that I've really had to work on for my well-being."
Bosh will continue as an analyst for Turner for the next four Mondays, running through March 27.
The Heat are trying to gain cap relief from the $52 million Bosh is owed over the next two seasons.

Lowry, who will be a free agent this offseason, hopes to return in time for the playoffs.
The Raptors have one of the NBA's best backup point guards in Cory Joseph.
Joakim Noah will undergo surgery on his left knee and miss the remainder of the season.
Noah signed with the New York Knicks in the 2016 offseason on a four-year, $72 million contract.
Noah has missed a number of games this season due to a knee ailment.
Noah also underwent surgery on the same knee in 2014.
Joel Embiid is out indefinitely with swelling in his knee and will undergo an MRI.
Embiid has been out most recently with a knee issue, but he missed the first two seasons of his NBA career due to multiple foot surgeries.
Embiid has missed 13 consecutive games and 16 out of 17 after suffering a bone bruise Jan. 20. An MRI exam revealed that he also has a slightly torn meniscus.
Embiid has been the favorite for Rookie of the Year but has not played since Jan. 27.
Kevin Love is confident he will be ready for the playoffs as he recovers from knee surgery.
"There's definitely enough time to where I can get into a good rhythm," Love said Friday, speaking to reporters for the first time since having the surgery to remove a loose body in his knee 10 days ago. "I don't know what the [plan is] as far as other guys resting or me resting going forward, but I imagine between J.R. [Smith] and myself, we'll get out there and get our wind and be ready to go for whenever [the playoffs start] in April."
While Love described the procedure as "very minor," he would not come off the six-week timeline the team has provided for his recovery.
"Every time I've been in a situation like this, usually when they say six weeks, they mean six weeks," Love said. "As far as how I feel now, I feel great. But I'll go through all the protocol. I'll be back here on the floor, getting the stitches out, before that, getting the swelling down. It's all just part of going through it."
Omri Casspi has been diagnosed with a right thumb fracture and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks. The injury occurred in the second half of New Orleans’ game against Houston on Thursday.
Casspi, 6-9, 225, was acquired from Sacramento along with DeMarcus Cousins on February 20. In his Pelicans debut, Casspi recorded 12 points and two rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench.
Casspi has appeared in 23 total games this season, averaging 6.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.3 minutes per contest.
Ben Simmons will sit out the entire 16-17 season.
Simmons underwent surgery on a broken foot in training camp and a most recent scan shows the bone has not fully healed.
Simmons was the top overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft out of LSU. The 76ers also had Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid miss what would have been their rookie season with Embiid sitting out a second season before returning this year.
"It's not the way you want to start your career, but it happens. We're not excited about the news today," said Bryan Colangelo.
Chris Paul could return from his surgically repaired thumb injury as soon as Thursday.
Paul tore a ligament in his left thumb on Jan. 16 and underwent surgery two days later. Paul was initially expected to miss six to eight weeks.
"He looked great. He went through the whole practice [on Tuesday]. You know, so it was good. Really good," Doc Rivers said before practice on Wednesday. "He could play tomorrow. I mean, I can't tell you if he will or not, but he's been cleared medically. But we just want to make sure that he's comfortable playing."
Paul has missed 13 games so far as a result of the thumb injury. He also missed seven games earlier in the season due to a strained left hamstring.
