Napier underwent sugery for a sports hernia Wednesday and will miss the rest of the season, NBA.com reports.
Analysis:
The Heat kept news of the issue under wraps and listed Napier as "out" due to a hip injury earlier Wednesday. Napier will conclude his rookie season with averages of 5.1 points, 2.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 51 games (10 starts). The first-round pick was somewhat of a disappointment, but he'll spend the summer working with the team and should be ready well before Summer League kicks off in July.
