MIAMI (AP) -- Miami Heat coach Pat Riley, who sets the NBA standard for sartorial splendor, may be wearing some bandages above his left eye at Tuesday's playoff game against the Detroit Pistons.

Riley required stitches after hurting himself while swimming at home late Saturday.

"I thought I was Mark Spitz doing flip turns," he said.

Riley had five small bandage strips just above the left eyebrow at practice Monday, and his left cheek was puffy. He declined to say how many stitches he needed.

"Coach has that pretty face," forward P.J. Brown said. "I think he doesn't like being marked up. It'll be fun to see how he looks Tuesday night."
