Wade Injures Hamstring
Dwyane Wade strained his left hamstring on Tuesday against the Lakers, and will likely miss Wednesday’s game against Golden State.
“I knew instantly,” Wade told ESPN of the injury after the game.
“If you could see my expression, I was pissed. I could have played the [rest of the] game. But I decided to be smart about it, catch it early and not make it any worse. As my doctors told me afterwards, since we caught it early, we'll take it day by day.”
Wade left the game after playing 15 minutes. He’s leading the Heat in scoring this season.
The Heat, 17-21 overall, are 4-4 this season without Wade.
Chris Bosh said the team will try to get through however long they have to without Wade.
“You can never get used to it,” Bosh said of the prospects of playing without Wade. “Of course the game plan is going to change significantly. But we’re going to ask guys to step up. We’re just going to have to worry about that [Wednesday]. I’m not predicting anything. I don’t want to sit here and say we’re mentally tough, and then we get smacked tomorrow. I just want to go in there and win the game.”
