Miami Heat's Dewayne Dedmon has sprained MCL, likely out 1-2 weeks

MIAMI -- The Miami Heat announced Friday that center Dewayne Dedmon is expected to miss no more than two weeks with a sprained MCL in his left knee.

Dedmon suffered the injury Thursday in Miami's win over Detroit. It's another blow, albeit perhaps a short-term one, to Miami's frontcourt depth, now with Dedmon, Bam Adebayo and Markieff Morris -- three of the four tallest players on the Heat roster -- all sidelined.

Dedmon appeared to injure the knee as he planted for a shot near the rim early in Thursday's game.
