LeBron James' twisted right ankle remained sore Saturday, though not enough for the reigning NBA MVP to be concerned about his status for Miami's season-opener against the Boston Celtics.
James was shaken up twice in the Heat's preseason finale Friday night, first when he turned the ankle in the game's opening minutes, then in the third quarter when he was inadvertently kicked in the face by New Orleans center Robin Lopez.
James was planning to get treatment for the ankle over the next couple days. He said he had no lingering aftereffects of the kick, which happened as he and Lopez jostled for a rebound.
The Heat open their title defense Tuesday against Boston. Miami got its roster down to the 15-player maximum on Saturday by waiving guard Garrett Temple.

With no Wade, Bosh steps up
With D-Wade out, Chris Bosh turned in the aggressive performance Miami coach Erik Spoelstra wanted to see. Bosh scored 21 points to help the Heat beat the Charlotte Bobcats 98-92 in a preseason game Tuesday night.LeBron James added 10 points and eight assists for the Heat (4-2), who gave Wade the night off. Ray Allen added 15 points off the bench for Miami, which shot 51.5 percent and hit 11 3-pointers. Bosh went 8 for 12 from the field with seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 25 minutes.

no more pregame
The NBA is undergoing a slight overhaul and implementing several new rules this
upcoming season. The biggest one being that players will now be penalized for
flopping because it was becoming a big problem in the league. A more under the
radar rule is that players will have approximately 90 seconds after
introductions to hit the court for the opening tip. It’s safe to say Oklahoma
City’s mega-star Kevin Durant doesnt like the new pregame rule.Every team and player has their own pregame routines, and I’m not exactly sure
why the NBA has put this rule in place. Fans and players alike enjoy pregame
rituals that are a part of the game. LeBron’s powder toss, KG’s head-butt of the
padded area of the hoop, and Dwyane Wade’s pull-ups on the rim are all player
rituals we’ve grown accustomed to. I don’t think Kevin Durant will be alone in
terms of dislike for the new rule.
