[FONT=Verdana,Arial, Helvetica]Heat guard Dorell Wright likely will miss three weeks after spraining his left ankle in Tuesday's exhibition victory over the Hornets.
Wright, who said he did not know when he was injured, called teammate Dwyane Wade at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday and said his ankle had begun to swell significantly.
