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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mario Chalmers had 14 points, three rebounds, five assists, three steals, a block and four 3-pointers in 26 minutes on Tuesday.

Chalmers is officially hot after scoring 26 points against the Pacers on Sunday, but had scored in single digits in his previous six games. Maybe he'll be able to keep this going and if he does, he could be a sneaky pickup with the Heat's favorable upcoming fantasy schedule.

Mario Chalmers got hot against the Pacers on Sunday, scoring a team-high 26 points and seven boards with two assists, two steals and five 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

He shot 7-of-9 from the field and the Pacers had no answer for Chalmers. As weird as that previous sentence may be, Chalmers doesn't have much value as the fourth or fifth option in Miami's efficient offense.
