Dwyane Wade's Ankle Injury Not Serious, Will Play Tuesday

Filed under: Heat, NBA Injuries

MIAMI (AP) -- Dwyane Wade's sore right ankle is not sore enough to present a problem for the Miami Heat.

Wade was able to practice Monday and pronounced himself ready to go when the Heat open their post-All-Star schedule at home Tuesday night against Sacramento - one of several pieces of positive news Miami got when it reconvened to start the final 26-game stretch of the regular season.

"I don't want to miss any time," Wade said Monday night. "It's not serious enough to miss any time."

Wade aggravated the ankle midway through the third quarter of Sunday's All-Star game when he tried an acrobatic pass and landed awkwardly. He left moments later and did not return.

Wade acknowledged that he was worried for a few moments Sunday night, but once the acute pain subsided, it was clear that the problem was minor.
