May 6, 2008 Dwyane Wade is on to the next phase of his left knee rehab program. He began working in Chicago on Monday and is hoping to receive clearance to play for Team USA in June, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. "We want to have him where he needs to be when it comes time to resume playing with USA Basketball," trainer Tim Grover says.
Our View:The report didn't provide details on Wade's latest rehab steps. He has played only 51 games in each of the last two seasons, and Wade's fantasy stock is in limbo until we know how healthy he'll be before the 2008-09 season.
April 18, 2008 Dwyane Wade is aiming to play for Team USA in this summer's Olympics. He has yet to do any rehab on his left knee, which didn't allow him to take the court after March 8. Wade plans to begin working out on May 5, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. The pre-Olympics mini-camp begins on June 27.
Our View:Wade would help his 2008-09 fantasy value if he's able to suit up this summer. We're still going to have concerns about his future chances to ever log more than 70-75 games in a season, though.
March 12, 2008 Dwyane Wade had an OssaTron procedure performed Tuesday and will be limited to non-contact exercise for the next 30 days, according to the AP. The 20-minute treatment came only one day after the Heat announced Wade would miss the rest of the season.
