ATLANTA(AP) -- Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem is sitting out
against the Atlanta Hawks because of an ailing left shoulder.

Haslem said before Wednesday night's game that his shoulder
began hurting about a week ago after a stint in the weight room.
He aggravated the injury Tuesday when he fell on his shoulder
during a loss to Oklahoma City.

Haslem said he wanted to be on the court but the coaching staff
decided to play it safe. The Heat hope he will play Friday at
Toronto.
