Miami, FL (My Sportsbook) - Miami Heat rookie guard Dwyane Wade is expected to be sidelined for 7-to-10 days with a foot injury. Wade suffered a right mid-foot sprain during Sunday's loss to Milwaukee. He sustained the injury after Bucks guard Michael Redd stripped him and headed for a layup. Wade tried to block Redd's shot and Heat forward Lamar Odom was racing in from behind. Odom then collided into Redd, who tumbled over Wade. The Marquette product then writhed in pain, but played about 15 more minutes before leaving the game with 5:50 remaining in the third quarter. X-rays taken were negative. The 22-year-old Wade already missed two games in early February with a left foot injury. Miami selected the Chicago native with the fifth overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. Wade is averaging 16.7 points and 4.4 assists in 42 games this season. |
