Miller, who badly injured his right thumb during a freak accident at Wednesday's practice at AmericanAirlines Arena, will be lost for at least half the season, not expected back until sometime in January, at the earliest.
The news on Miami Heat forward Mike Miller is as grim as feared/

Because of that, the Heat have increased efforts to land a potential replacement in the perimeter rotation, with free-agent Jerry Stackhouse emerging as the leading candidate.
Miller, who underwent a 45-minute procedure, had a torn ligament and a fracture. His shooting hand will be in a cast for four weeks and in a splint thereafter.
In light of Miller's injury, the Heat are moving closer to an agreement with Stackhouse, a source familiar with the situation told the Sun Sentinel.
According to the source, Stackhouse had a Thursday workout for the Heat in Atlanta, where the Heat faced the Atlanta Hawks in an exhibition. A deal with Stackhouse, who finished last season with the Milwaukee Bucks, could be closed as early as Saturday.
NBA teams must reduce rosters to the league-maximum of 15 by Monday's 6 p.m. deadline. The Heat currently is carrying 16 players, which means the addition of Stackhouse would require two cuts.
The Heat opens the regular season Tuesday at TD Garden against the Boston Celtics.

Jerry Stackhouse has entered the Roger Clemens phase of his career, where he sits out training camp and the early part of the season, waiting until some team that needs an infusion of offense comes calling ... He was useful in spurts for Scott Skiles in Milwaukee last season and played some important minutes. When you add it all up, however, he was merely filling space. If Stackhouse wants to play in the NBA this season, he probably will, but fans of whichever team he ends up with shouldn’t expect much.
The Heat are an ideal landing place for a player in Stackhouse's situation. Where better for an aging player to hide out when he no longer has the physical skills to dominate? Long, athletic players like Wade, LeBron James, andChris Bosh will provide cover for him at every turn.
It's fair to call this a marriage of convenience for both parties but it comes at a small financial price and the timing is right for Miami, who needed to quickly plug a hole as they prepare to open the season Tuesday in Boston.
With the signing, Miami's roster stands at 17 players. Two will need to be cut or traded prior to Monday's deadline for teams to set their 15 man rosters. Guard Patrick Beverley and forward Da'Sean Butler are the most likely Heat players to be released.
