The Flash is back, but it might take a while before he returns to his usual superhero self. The guys at Dime say he looked pain-free, but was obviously off his game at clutch time in a loss to the lowly Bobcats.

Heat's Posey arrested for drunken driving
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Miami Heat forward James Posey was arrested early Monday on a drunken driving charge after an officer pulled him over for stopping in the middle of a road

Posey had stopped his car on a double-lane Miami Beach road, talking to occupants of other vehicles and pedestrians, police said.
Once out of the car, Posey displayed "bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and an odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath," the police report said. The player also was unsteady on his feet and swayed while standing, police said.

The Heat declined immediate comment. The team is scheduled to practice Monday morning before flying to Charlotte for a game there Tuesday. It's unknown if Posey would be on the traveling roster.

Posey, in the final year of his contract, is making about $6.4 million this season with the defending champion Heat.

 The Heat decided after the arrest Hite should take some time away from the team, and ultimately released him. He is playing in South Dakota with an NBA Development League club.
