Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — The Heat’s summer camp is exacting a greater toll than could have been anticipated from such offseason workouts.
The team not only confirmed Friday that Michael Beasley, the No. 2 overall pick in last week’s NBA Draft, has a “slight crack” of his sternum, but also revealed that 2007 Heat first-round pick Daequan Cook will be sidelined for two to four weeks with a slight separation of his left shoulder.
While Cook will miss next week’s summer league in Orlando, the Heat is hopeful Beasley nonetheless can compete in the week of games at the Orlando Magic’s practice facility.
Beasley was injured just over a half hour into the camp’s opening session Wednesday morning, when he took an elbow to the chest during drills.
Beasley said in a blog post at ESPN.com that the elbow resulted in “a very, very slight fracture of the sternum.”
Beasley, who has not been made available by the team for comment, said in his blog post that he could miss the balance of the camp, which concludes Sunday.
The Heat, however, said Friday that Beasley could return to contact drills as early as today.
