Mario Chalmers suffered a left shoulder injury in the third quarter and went to the locker room during Wednesday's game.

He is questionable to return. It's shaping up to be a rough night for Chalmers since he sustained some sort of leg injury in the first half. Norris Cole will handle the majority of the point guard duties, but the Heat have tons of flexibility with LeBron fully capable of running the point.
May 22 - 10:17 PM

Mario Chalmers (rest) will not play against the Magic on Wednesday.

He'll get some extra rest as the Heat get ready for the playoffs. Chalmers is more of a secondary piece for Miami and played 26.9 minutes per game with 8.6 points and 3.5 assists. Norris Cole was terrific on Monday and flirted with a triple-double, so he's someone that makes for a strong start against Orlando tonight.
Apr 17 - 7:20 PM

Mario Chalmers, Shane Battier and Udonis Haslem have also been ruled out for the Heat on Monday, in addition to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

That leaves a starting lineup of Norris Cole, Mike Miller, Juwan Howard, Rashard Lewis and Joel Anthony tonight, while guys like Chris Andersen and Ray Allen could come off the bench, if they're not also being rested.
Apr 15 - 5:37 PM

Mario Chalmers scored 15 points with three boards, five assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes against the Bulls on Sunday.

The Heat are going to sit LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on Monday, so Chalmers should have the ball in his hands a lot against Cleveland. The Cavs allow the highest field goal percentage in the NBA and there's a chance that Chalmers turns in a big line. Although, there's a chance he will sit out, as well.
Apr 14 - 5:11 PM

Mario Chalmers had 13 points, four rebounds, eight assists, a steal and three 3-pointers on 5-of-14 shooting in 30 minutes of Wednesday's win over the Wizards.

The Heat won despite not having LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh, which is also why Chalmers had such a strong line. Oh, and the Heat won their 62nd game of the season, setting a franchise record, and clinched home court all the way through the playoffs.
Apr 10 - 10:40 PM

Mario Chalmers (ankle) played on Friday against the Bobcats, scoring six points on 1-of-4 shooting (4-of-4 FTs) with seven assists and three steals in 27 minutes.

If any of the Big Three are out on any given night you can bump him up in your projections a bit, but with the ankle issue and his general inconsistency there is no guarantee he'll be able to convert.
Apr 5 - 11:47 PM

Mario Chalmers (ankle) will play and start in Friday's game against the Bobcats.

Coach Erik Spoelstra said that Chalmers minutes would likely be limited. That means we'll see plenty of Norris Cole, leaving neither one as appetizing fantasy options.
Apr 5 - 6:27 PM

Contrary to a previous report, Mario Chalmers' ankle has improved and he's now a game-time decision for Friday against Charlotte.

Chalmers was ruled out of Friday's contest, but he was able to get through shootaround and is now a game-time call. He'll try to convince Erik Spoelstra to let him play, but it's still possible he sits out, in which case Norris Cole would play heavy minutes again.
Apr 5 - 12:25 PM

Mario Chalmers (ankle) is not expected to play on Friday.

It will be his fourth straight game on the sidelines if he sits, but Miami is just trying to ensure everyone is healthy for the playoffs. Norris Cole is likely to start in Chalmers' place again.
Apr 4 - 1:28 PM

Mario Chalmers (ankle) was ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Chalmers' ankle will now keep him out of three straight, but the team doesn't seem overly concerned. In his place, Norris Cole is expected to draw the start, but Cole had just 13 points, four assists and a steal in 43 minutes on Sunday.
Apr 2 - 11:48 AM

Mario Chalmers (ankle) will not play against the Spurs on Sunday.

His right ankle sprain kept him out of the lineup on Friday and this is not just a normal case of rest like it is for LeBron. Norris Cole makes for a very interesting spot-start today.
Mar 31 - 5:26 PM

Mario Chalmers (ankle) will not be in the lineup Friday night against the Hornets.

Chalmers' ankle injury came out of nowhere this morning and it's still not clear how serious the injury is. It's also possible the Heat are entering a stretch where they rest players with minor ailments to keep them as fresh as possible for the playoffs. Norris Cole and Ray Allen should see some extra time tonight.
Mar 29 - 6:33 PM

Mario Chalmers (ankle) and Udonis Haslem (ankle) did not go through shootaround on Friday and each is a game-time decision against the Hornets.

There was no report of Chalmers having any kind of ankle injury, so it's not clear how serious the concern is at this point. Haslem hasn't exceed 20 minutes since March 15 despite starting, so his absence would just open up more time for Shane Battier and Ray Allen.
Mar 29 - 1:04 PM

Mario Chalmers had two points on 0-of-4 shooting, three assists and one steal as Miami won their 26th consecutive game on Sunday.

In his previous three games, Mario was averaging 16.3 points and 3.3 triples per game, but he's prone to unexpected disappearing acts. Who would have thought he'd vanish against the Bobcats' defense? He should bounce back vs. the Magic on Monday, the first of four games for the Heat next week.
