The Miami Heat's summer camp is exacting a far greater toll than could have been anticipated from such offseason workouts. The team not only confirmed Friday that Michael Beasley, the No. 2 overall pick in last week's NBA Draft, has a "slight crack" of his sternum, but also revealed that 2007 Heat first-round pick Daequan Cook will be sidelined for two to four weeks with a slight separation of his left shoulder.

While Cook will now miss next week's summer league in Orlando, the Heat is hopeful that Beasley nonetheless can compete in the week of games at the Orlando Magic's practice facility. Cook was injured during the second of two practices Thursday at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Beasley was injured just over a half hour into the camp's opening session Wednesday morning at AmericanAirlines Arena, when he took an elbow to the chest during drills. The sessions are being guided by new Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, who took over from Pat Riley in April. Assistant coach Keith Askins will coach the team during the summer league.

Beasley said in a blog post at ESPN.com that the elbow resulted in "a very, very slight fracture of the sternum." The Heat initially termed the injury a contusion, but Friday offered a more complete evaluation.
