Andre Miller

Andre Miller didn't participate in Thursday's film session or shootaround, and instead spent time with a chiropractor as he tries to work through injuries to his back and abdomen. He also missed Friday's shootaround and is being called a game-time decision by Mo Cheeks. Miller has a lower back strain and contusion, and suffered the abdominal injury while compensating for his sore back in Wednesday's win over the Pistons. He's questionable for Friday's meeting with the Bulls. "My gut is he will play, but we don't want him to go out there to the point of messing himself up," Cheeks said. "We will see how he feels."

Willie Green

Sixers' guard Willie Green will miss at least the next two games with a lower back strain. He didn't make the two-game road trip to Detroit and Chicago, staying home to get treatment on his injury.

Dwight Howard

Dwight Howard left Wednesday's game with a bruised right quad muscle, though he said later that he will be ready to play in Friday's game against the Heat. Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said he might let Howard sit out Thursday's practice, but all signs point to this being a temporary inconvenience.

Carl Landry

Rockets forward Carl Landry is doubtful for Friday with swelling in his lingering right knee injury.

Udonis Haslem & Earl Barron

Ron Rothstein will coach the Heat on Friday against the Magic, as Pat Riley is on a three-day scouting trip.

Riley is expected back for Sunday's home game against Dallas. Rothstein said he's unsure if Udonis Haslem (ankle) and Earl Barron (knee) will play on Friday, so consider them game-time decisions. Mar. 14 - 10:22 am et

Chris Bosh

Chris Bosh (knee) did a little jump shooting and low-post work at Raptors practice on Friday.

He might do some running before tonight's game in Denver, but it seems that the earliest he might return is Wednesday. Bosh could practice in Sacramento tomorrow if he doesn't have any lingering soreness in his right knee. Chris Bosh (knee) did a little jump shooting and low-post work at Raptors practice on Friday.
