    "Mario Chalmers' teammates and coaches, who try to hold him to a high standard, have spoken recently of his progress.

    That progress could be on hold for a while, due to a sprained right knee he sustained Saturday night.

    Chalmers, who started his 27th straight game Saturday, landed awkwardly after a Denver Nuggets possession late in the first quarter, then stumbled toward the scorers' table as his teammates sprinted upcourt.

    Miami called time-out, and several Heat players walked over to observe and encourage him.

    The Heat trainer, Jay Sabol, and Juwan Howard helped Chalmers up, and he put no weight on his right leg as they carried him to the locker room.

    Erik Spoelstra said that Chalmers - who had left by the time the locker room opened after the game - would receive an MRI today. The team will not practice, but will host its annual charity Family Fest on Watson Island."
