Miami Heat star Josh McRoberts is expected to miss the rest of the season after he sustained a torn meniscus in his right knee.
McRoberts is understood to have suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of the Heat's win over the Phoenix Suns last Tuesday when he landed awkwardly while pursuing a loose ball.
"Injuries are a part of this game, how you respond to adversities, to things that are tough, that's what reveals your collective character as a group," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
"I told the guys there will be brighter days. It always usually evens out at the end. We're being hit pretty strong with the injury bug right now."
Chris Bosh is currently sidelined with a strained calf while Dwyane Wade could be absent this week after missing practice with a stomach bug.
