Dwyane Wade is officially day-to-day after aggravating his knee injury in Game 4 against the Chicago Bulls on Monday, according to NBA writer Royce Young of CBSSports.com.
Wade said after the 88-65 victory, via Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com:
“This was just the first time you've seen it, other times I've been able to not show you,” Wade said after the game before revealing a rather gnarly detail about the bandage that certainly helps explain his troubles in the postseason.
“I'm taping it. When you have a [bone] bruise, you try to move the kneecap over so it won't rub. When you get into game sweat you have to re-tape it a bit.”
Wade is averaging 12.3 points, 5.3 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 steals despite playing through his injury in the playoffs. On the other hand, those numbers are put into perspective when you look at his regular season, in which he averaged 21.2 points, 5.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 steals.
Now, the question becomes whether the Heat will rest Wade for Game 5 on Wednesday or play him in hopes of capturing the series and advancing.
