MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade will play Tuesday when the Miami Heat open their post-All-Star schedule against Sacramento, despite a sore right ankle.
Wade aggravated the ankle midway through the third quarter of Sunday’s All-Star game when he tried an acrobatic pass. He left moments later and did not return.
He was able to practice without problem on Monday, and said the ankle did not swell during the flight home from Los Angeles.
Forward Mike Miller will not play Tuesday after getting hit in the head three times in a five-day span before the break. He did not have a concussion, but the team says it will proceed cautiously with Miller.
