Hardaway sits out Heat playoff opener
Associated Press
|  | | Tim Hardaway was relegated to cheering on his Heat teammates from the bench Saturday. |
MIAMI -- Point guard Tim Hardaway, hobbled by a sore left
foot, didn't dress Saturday for the Miami Heat's first-round
playoff game against the Detroit Pistons.
Hardaway is sidelined indefinitely with the injury, which forced
him to miss the final two regular-season games.
"I feel tremendous compassion for Tim," coach Pat Riley said
before Saturday's game. "I just know how much he wants to be there
and how much our guys feed off him. We're just going to have to
overcome that until we can get him back, whenever that is."
Rookie Anthony Carter started in place of Hardaway. |
