Strained shoulder keeps Cook out again for Heat


Posted Nov 3 2009 6:40PM

MIAMI (AP) -- Miami swingman Daequan Cook is out for the Heat's game against Phoenix because of problems with his strained right shoulder.

Cook said on Tuesday he'll also miss Miami's game Wednesday at Washington, adding that he was "very worried" that the injury wasn't getting better. He shot 1-for-9 in Miami's win at Indiana on Friday, trying to play through the injury, and hasn't been on the court since.

Cook was the NBA's 3-point shootout champion last season.
