Heat suspend Alston indefinitely

Basketball Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Heat announced they have suspended guard Rafer Alston indefinitely.

The team's statement said Alston, who made contact with the Heat via text message, has "made himself otherwise unavailable to the team."

Since signing with Miami as a free agent on January 7, Alston has played in 25 games -- all starts -- and posted averages of 6.6 points and 2.9 assists.

However, he played for just under seven minutes in Miami's win over Golden State on Tuesday, and has not appeared in the Heat's two games since then.

In 52 games overall with the Nets and Heat this season, his 11th in the league, the former playground star has averaged 8.2 points and 3.4 assists.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
