It has been tough for the HEAT to be consistent this year because Wade and Bosh have been hurt. When they play together they are solid team, when they don’t they look lottery bound.
Wade is the latest to be on the shelf.
Wade said he felt his left hamstring tighten up early in the second quarter and initially attempted to play through the discomfort before he left with 5:43 remaining in the first half. It is the second time this season Wade has strained his left hamstring, with the previous injury sidelining him seven games in November.
“I knew instantly,” Wade said 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.”
