Whatever happened to him? Last news I heard about him, he got into a fight with a valet attendant. Now I hear he's been inactive for 14 straight games.
What happened to Smush Parker?

I heard he has an old friend named Basketball that recently de-friended him so he's having some personal issues.

I heard he was accused of impersonating an NBA point guard.

He is still on the roster. Reason I've heard given was due to personal reasons. Don't know to much else on the subject.

MIAMI - With personnel losses mounting, coach Pat Riley is desperately scouring his roster for help. Guard Chris Quinn is likely out fora week with a sprained left ankle and center Alonzo Mourning is out for the season with a knee injury.
For now, Riley is playing rookie shooting guard Daequan Cook at point guard behind starter Jason Williams and Dwyane Wade, and hopingveteran 7-footer Mark Blount can play sufficiently at backup center. The latter seems to be just talk, however, because third-year center Earl Barron hashandled backup duties in the past two games. Barron scored 11 consecutive second-quarter points during one stretch Saturday.

Because Mourning and guard Smush Parker, who is on the inactive list, are taking roster spots, Riley doesn't have many other optionsat center and point guard.
The best option would be to deal Parker, a free-agent signee who hasn't played since a November altercation with a parkingvalet.
But there don't seem to be many takers.
"We're working real hard to resolve it," Riley said of Parker's situation. "Real hard."
As for Cook, a first-round pick who played a year at Ohio State, he played point guard in high school and college and has worked withHeat assistant Erik Spoelstra. Cook, who averages 8.8 points a game, sees a real advantage for himself at the position.
"Maybe we start thinking about me in the post a little more. I'm a little taller than the rest of the players," the6-foot-5 Cook said. "That's a great advantage, especially on the offensive end, where he's got me down in the post."
Although Cook most likely wouldn't play point guard for more than three or four minutes a game, with the Heat playing five games inthe next week, Quinn's absence could be noticeable.
Meanwhile, Blount just hopes to fit in somewhere. Riley said he's "perplexed" why Blount hasn't grasped either powerforward or center.
Asked what position he best fits, Blount said, "If I could tell you, I would. I'm just working on both of them rightnow."
Objection filed: The Heat sent a letter to the league regarding a 117-111 overtime loss last week in Atlanta. Among thethings Miami is contending is that center Shaquille O'Neal didn't foul out with 52 seconds left in overtime. The Heat said O'Neal only had fivefouls. The league has until Dec. 31 to complete its investigation.
In the best-case scenario for Miami, the NBA could make the teams replay the final 52 seconds of OT, but that seems unlikely.
