Wizards' Miller sprains left shoulder

WASHINGTON (AP) -Washington Wizards guard Mike Miller sprained his left shoulder in the fourth quarter of the Wizards' game against Miami on Thursday night.

Miller first hurt the shoulder in the third quarter in a collision with the Heat's Mario Chalmers. He immediately clutched his shoulder and was taken to the locker room.

Miller returned to the bench a few minutes later with his shoulder taped and re-entered the game with about four minutes left in the quarter.

Miller, who was acquired by Washington in a trade with Minnesota in June, aggravated the injury with 9:11 left in the fourth quarter when he fell to the court on a foul by Miami's Joel Anthony. Miller completed the 3-point play and stayed in the game for about another minute before again leaving for the locker room.
