MIAMI (AP) Beno Udrih has a tear in the bottom of his right foot, and Miami's backup point guard is looking at a three-month rehabilitation after surgery is performed to correct the issue.

The team announced the diagnosis of a torn plantar plate Wednesday.

It's the latest blow for the Heat, who are already missing Chris Bosh because of a blood clot and Tyler Johnson because of shoulder surgery. The team also has two open roster spots, which means 10 players are currently available to play.

Miami plays host to Golden State on Wednesday night.
