The Miami Heat are expected to be without LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Mario Chalmers and Ray Allen due to various injuries when the team travels to Charlotte Friday night to take on the Bobcats. Head coach Erik Spoelstra told ESPN that all four players continued to receive treatment during Thursday's light practice at American Airlines Arena before the team's flight.

James, Wade and Chalmers have all missed the past three games and have not played since Friday's win at New Orleans. James is dealing with a sore right hamstring, an injury he aggravated in the second half against the Hornets.

Wade has been dealing with a sore right knee for a month and sprained his ankle during Miami's March 27 loss to Chicago, which ended the Heat's 27-game winning streak. Chalmers is also dealing with a sore right ankle.

Allen is getting time off to rest his right ankle, which he had surgery to remove bone spurs last summer. The 37-year-old veteran has played through some discomfort throughout the season and told ESPN earlier this week that it was about 80 percent healthy.

Allen and Chalmers both participated in parts of Thursday's practice. All four players traveled with the team Thursday.
