We have analyzed the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice using a Schwinger-boson mean-field theory. By expanding around a state with local 120{degree} order, we obtain, in the limit of infinite spin, results for the excitation spectrum in complete agreement with linear spin-wave theory (LSWT). In contrast to LSWT, however, the modes at the ordering wave vectors acquire a mass for finite spin. We discuss the origin of this effect.
