Richard Hamilton (foot) could miss up to four weeks, but he hopes to return sooner.

We had a suspicion that a one-to-two week absence wouldn't be enough to accomodate Hamilton's recovery period, and it looks like that initial timetable was off. Hamilton was diagnosed with a torn plantar fascia on December 2, so we wouldn't be surprised to see him return around Christmas or early January. In his place, Marco Belinelli will continue to start with Jimmy Butler and Nate Robinson seeing a bump in minutes as well.
