Heat suspend Alston

Heat Guard Rafer Alston's season is over.
Miami moved Alston to the suspended list late last night, one week after he left the team without telling any member of the organization why.
Alston told ESPN earlier this week that his departure stemmed from a personal matter involving his sister.
Heat President Pat Riley said "Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family during this time, but we are at the point where we must move forward with the rest of the season during our playoff push."
Alston played in 25 games for the Heat since signing with the club on Jan. 7, averaging 6.6 points and 2.9 assists.
