Paris, France -- (Sports Network) - Miami Heat center Jamaal Magloire suffered a fracture of the third metacarpal in his left hand during the team's preseason loss to the New Jersey Nets on Thursday.

Magloire was taken to a local Paris hospital, which confirmed a fracture. The two teams were competing in the first of two preseason tuneups in Europe. Magloire will not accompany the team on its second leg of the tour, in London, England. He will be re-evaluated upon returning to Miami.

Magloire signed with the Heat as a free agent this offseason after splitting the 2007-08 season between the Nets and the Dallas Mavericks. The 30-year- old averaged 1.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game last season, playing in just 31 contests.
