    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> MIAMI ? Moments after Heat coach Pat Riley spoke of the need for early-season depth with his veteran-laden roster, another piece of that depth was sidelined.

    Four days after losing backup center Michael Doleac for two to three weeks with a sprained right ankle, the Heat announced that swingman Dorell Wright would be lost for three weeks with a sprained left ankle.

    Although the team said Wright was injured in Tuesday's exhibition victory over the Hornets, neither Wright nor teammates knew when the injury occurred.

    "He was out to eat and everything. And then he said he got up from the table at Prime 112 -- once he got up, he couldn't even walk on it," teammate Dwyane Wade said. "He was in pain."</div>

    Wright sure is getting a lot of media coverage this preseason. From yesterday's article it sounded like he was just starting to put it together, and now he'll have to deal with another setback.

    Miami's roster is starting to look like M.A.S.H. unit right now.

    Injured players include:

    Jason Williams
    Dorrell Wright
    Michael Doleac

    thats not good, for wright anyway. we'll live without him, but as soon as he starts to make an impression, he gets injured. i hope that we stop getting injured! it would be perfect if everyone was 100% healthy and we had a great beginning to the season. wright and doleac arent huge losses in anyway, but ANY loss hurts.
