Heat's Bosh to sit vs. Hawks

[Sports Update]

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Chris Bosh will miss his first game in a Miami Heat uniform on Tuesday, as the forward is dealing with a sprained left ankle.

Bosh suffered the injury during Saturday's loss to the Bulls, the third straight setback for the Heat.

LeBron James has missed the last two games with a sprained left ankle and is a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against the Hawks, who enter the game three games behind Miami for first place in the Southeast Division.

In 42 games this season, Bosh has put up 18.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, roughly five points and three rebounds fewer than his average with the Raptors last season.

James' numbers are also down, though he is still putting up a team-high 25.4 points to go with 7.2 assists and 7.0 rebounds through 40 games this season.

Bosh and James, along with star guard Dwyane Wade (knee), all sat out practice on Monday. Wade, however, is expected to play.
