December 25, 2007 Althogh Dwyane Wade missed 11-of-18 shots from the floor and 8-of-16 shots from the line Tuesday, he refused to blame his sore right shoulder for his inaccuracy, the AP reports. "I was just missing shots," he said. "It wasn't their defense, it was nothing they did special." |
|
December 24, 2007 Dwyane Wade pulled a muscle in his left shoulder during Sunday's second half, though he doesn't think the injury is serious, the Miami Herald reports. Wade says he plans to "take some pills, rest and ice it" during the next few days. |
|
November 14, 2007 Former NBA Finals MVP Dwyane Wade returned to the lineup for the Miami Heat on Wednesday when they faced the winless Seattle SuperSonics. Wade has been recovering from a shoulder injury from last season, and a knee injury from this offseason. |
|
November 14, 2007 Dwyane Wade sat out Tuesday's game at Charlotte and isn't sure if he'll be able to go Wednesday against Seattle, the AP reports. Wade (knee) has yet to play this year and the Heat is off to a 1-6 start without him. |
|
November 8, 2007 Dwyane Wade was cleared by the team’s medical staff to return to the court last week, but told the Miami Herald on Wednesday that he still must put his body through more rigorous tests before he’s comfortable enough to return. “I feel my explosion coming back a little bit,” Wade said. “I can’t explain it. I’ll just know when I know.” |
|
November 4, 2007 Dwyane Wade will take part in his first full-contact practice of the season Monday, according to the AP. Wade said he hasn't decided when he'll officially return from his offseason knee and shoulder surgeries. |
|
November 4, 2007 Dwyane Wade probably will take part in his first full-contact practice on Monday. If all goes well, he could make his season debut sometime next week, according to the Miami Herald. Wade is working his way back from offseason knee and shoulder surgeries, so it's possible he could face a setback. But at this point, he's ahead of schedule in his recovery and looking good for those who took a shot on him in the first round or two of their drafts. |
|
November 2, 2007 Having sufficiently recovered from shoulder and knee surgeries, Dwyane Wade has been cleared to play. "His conditioning is not to the level that he needs it to be for the kind of game we need from him, but this is a big step for us," Riley said, according to the AP. "We're not going to have any kind of watch. I think when he decides to play is the day you'll know about it." Speak for yourself, Riley -- fantasy folk already have a vigil going. Wade hasn't been taking contact in practice, so that will be a key step as he gets into game shape. Riley said he'd talk to Wade Saturday, at which point we may have a more specific timeline for Wade's return. |
|
October 28, 2007 Dwyane Wade continues to make significant progress in his recovery from offseason shoulder and knee surgeries. The original date set for Wade to begin practicing without limitations was Nov. 15, but he thinks he might get going before then, according to the Miami Herald. Barring a setback, Wade could make his season debut in late November or early December. He's going no later than the second round in most drafts, despite his situation. |
|
July 17, 2007 Dwyane Wade confirmed Monday what many had already expected - that he won't be ready for the start of the 2007-08 season. Wade, who is recovering from shoulder and knee surgeries, said he might not be ready for game action until November. "I'm comfortable with it," he said in the Miami Herald. "I understood when I had surgery that it was going to be a six-month [process]. I want to make sure I'm healthy as possible so I can play the most games I can play without going in and out of the lineup." |
|
May 15, 2007 Heat guard Dwyane Wade had surgery on his left shoulder and knee on Tuesday, and will likely need the rest of the offseason to recover. The AP reports that Wade, who missed 31 games last season primarily due to a dislocated left shoulder suffered in February, actually had more pain in his knee than his shoulder when he returned because he suffered from “jumper’s knee.” A rehab timetable hasn’t been set, but coach Pat Riley said last week that it might take six months for Wade to fully recover from both procedures. Miami guard Jason Williams had a similar surgery last July and experienced pain for most of the first half of the regular season. |
|
May 11, 2007 Dwyane Wade could undergo surgeries on both his left knee and left shoulder next week, according to the Miami Herald. Coach Pat Riley was uncertain whether Wade would be ready for the start of the season, but considering a six-month recovery process is expected, it appears unlikely. "We'd like to have everybody ready for training camp," Riley said. "But when you're talking about some surgeries that might take six months, then you can't put a timetable on it, and I won't do it." |
|
May 3, 2007 Dwyane Wade will make a decision in the next few days regarding whether or not he'll undergo surgery on his left shoulder and left knee, according to the Miami Herald. "He's got to make a decision on doing both things either right now or doing one thing," Riley said of the potential surgeries. "If he's going to do one thing, he's probably going to have to do his knee. If he doesn't do his shoulder, the percentages are high that it's going to [dislocate again]. He's also a human being that's going to have a child and just needs to rest." Wade's shoulder surgery would require anywhere from four to six months of rehabilitation, and the knee surgery would be more indefinite. |
|
April 30, 2007 Dwyane Wade will likely still undergo surgery to repair his left shoulder, the Miami Herald reports. Assuming he has the procedure, he'll need 4-6 months of rehab time and won't be able to play in the Olympic qualifier this summer. |
|
April 19, 2007 Dwyane Wade was rested for the season finale against Orlando Wednesday, as Pat Riley had been considering all along. Shaquille O'Neal also was held out. |
|

|
April 13, 2007 Dwyane Wade has been dealing with tendinitis in his left knee since returning to action three games ago, according to the Miami Herald. He aggravated the injury when he landed awkwardly after a dunk on Wednesday. "If I didn't miss 30 games, I would have sat out [Thursday]," Wade said. "But I still have to practice and get my rhythm back, get my flow back." |
|
April 8, 2007 Dwyane Wade returned to action on Sunday against the Bobcats. He played 27 minutes, scoring 12 points on 3-for-9 shooting from the field and 6-for-12 from the foul line in a 111-103 overtime loss. Wade had missed 23 games with a dislocated shoulder. |
|

|
April 7, 2007 Dwyane Wade completed another pregame workout on Friday, and barring a setback, he could return to the court against the Wizards on Wednesday, according to the Miami Herald. "As much as practice these past few days has helped, mentally, it's still going to be different when I play in my first game," Wade said. "I have to get back into the flow of things." Wade has been out since February 21. |
|
April 6, 2007 Dwyane Wade might come off the bench for his first few games back with the Heat, Pat Riley told the Miami Herald. Wade didn't play Thursday and isn't expected to play Friday in Boston, but it looks like he might return from his shoulder injury early next week. |
|
April 4, 2007 Dwyane Wade was clearly still favoring his left shoulder during portions of Monday's practice, Pat Riley told the Miami Herald. The workout Monday was Wade's first in six weeks as he comes back from a dislocated shoulder. "We'll find out where they force him defensively, and we'll find out where he wants to go," Riley said. "But I think eventually, once he gets out on the court and takes a few hits and realizes there's no problem with it, then I think he'll just continue to play." |
|
April 2, 2007 Dwyane Wade returned to practice on Monday, nearly six weeks after suffering a dislocated shoulder, according to the AP. He worked out on the court for 90 minutes pain-free. "The fact that he's back practicing is huge," Heat coach Pat Riley said. "You go back to Feb. 23, it didn't look like there was going to be any of that stuff. So this is great." It's uncertain as to when Wade will be ready to return to game action. |
|
April 2, 2007 Dwyane Wade plans to go through his first full practice Monday since dislocating his left shoulder Feb. 21 in Houston, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. Wade cautioned that he only expected to play in "a game or two" before the April 18 conclusion of the regular season. |
|
March 27, 2007 There is still no update on when Dwyane Wade may return from his dislocated shoulder, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "There's been no discussion about when," Riley said. "There isn't any, `Well, it's going to be next week' or anything like that." The Heat has 12 games left in the regular season. |
|
March 25, 2007 Dwyane Wade still has no timetable set for his return from a dislocated shoulder, though he's hoping to be ready for the playoffs, according to the Miami Herald. "From a rehab standpoint, everything the doctors tell me, is they took another MRI and things seem to be healing, tightening up," coach Pat Riley said. "Can he play basketball? I don't know. He's throwing a heavy ball around. One of the exercises is to get his arms up higher and higher. He's dribbling every day." |
|
March 19, 2007 Dwyane Wade continues to rehab his dislocated shoulder but has no timetable set for a return to game action, according to the Miami Herald. "He seems to be progressing," coach Pat Riley said. "They're advancing with their drill work. He feels stronger, but we won't know for a while exactly when the day comes that he could play, so we're not even thinking about it right now." |
|
March 5, 2007 Dwyane Wade has decided to delay surgery and rehabilitate his dislocated shoulder with the hopes of returning to action this season, according to ESPN.com. "My decision for the next two to three weeks is to rehab with the possibility of coming back, but with no guarantee," Wade said. "I'll find out after therapy and rehab how my body responds to things." Even if Wade returns this year, he's still expected to undergo surgery at the end of the season. |
|
March 5, 2007 As expected, Dwyane Wade had his dislocated shoulder examined by Dr. James Andrews on Friday, according to the Sun-Sentinel. However, Wade has yet to decide whether to undergo season-ending surgery or try to rehab it and attempt to return for the playoffs. |
|
March 2, 2007 Dwyane Wade had his dislocated left shoulder examined Friday by specialist Dr. James Andrews, and Miami coach Pat Riley said there's no rush for a decision on whether season-ending surgery or rehabilitation is the best treatment. There's a chance Wade could return for the playoffs if he decides on rehabilitation. Even if Wade decides on rehabilitation now, he's expected to have surgery after the season. |
|
March 1, 2007 Dwyane Wade was scheduled to have Dr. James Andrews examine his dislocated left shoulder on Thursday, but severe weather kept Andrews from making the trip, according to the AP. The visit has been rescheduled for Friday. |
|
February 28, 2007 Dwyane Wade is scheduled to get a second opinion Thursday to determine whether he should have season-ending surgery, the AP reports. Either way, Wade realizes that ultimately the procedure is unavoidable - it's just a matter of when he has it done. |
|
February 28, 2007 Dwyane Wade has confirmed that he'll eventually need to undergo surgery on is dislocated shoulder, although it remains to be seen when that might be, as he's still considering rehab as a short-term option, according to the Palm Beach Post. "The reports are accurate," said Wade, whose arm is in a sling. "It's eventually surgery. But it's also an opportunity in there where I can opt for rehab and therapy and make it stronger and be able to make a return by the end of the season." Wade expects to make a decision by the end of the week. |
|
February 27, 2007 Dwyane Wade intends to decide by the end of the week whether to rehab his knee or undergo season-ending surgery, according to the AP. If he chooses to rehab, he could be back before the end of the regular season. |
|
February 27, 2007 Dwyane Wade is scheduled to receive a second opinion on his dislocated shoulder Wednesday, according to the South Florida-Sentinel. Wade's options are six weeks of rehab and a possible return for the final games of the regular season, or surgery that would sideline him at least four months. |
|

|
February 23, 2007 It will be a few days before a decision is made on the rest of Dwyane Wade's season, the Miami Herald reports. Wade is looking at essentially two choices: shoulder surgery - which would end his season - or trying to rehab the injury and come back in about six weeks. "It's a significant injury, and we're obviously looking at some time where, with any of the options provided, we will be playing without him," Miami GM Randy Pfund said. |
|
February 22, 2007 Dwyane Wade's injury is as bad as it looked, as he has been diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He was taken to a hospital, and more should be known about a timetable for a return today. At this point, he's out indefinitely. Look for Eddie Jones to step into the starting lineup in place of Wade. |
|
February 21, 2007 Dwyane Wade left Wednesday's game at Houston after injuring his left shoulder in the fourth quarter, the AP reports. Wade got tangled up with Shane Battier and grimaced in pain before going to the bench. A couple of minutes later he was helped into a wheelchair and taken off the bench. Wade did not accompany the team on the flight to Dallas after the game and Pat Riley admitted "it looks like Dwyane may be out for a while," though an exact timetable won't be known until later in the week. |
|
February 14, 2007 Dwyane Wade said he hyperextended his left shoulder during last night's game, according to the Miami Herald. He finished the game, but whether the injury will be a problem going forward is uncertain at this point. "I hyperextended it a little bit," Wade said. "It kind of popped, but luckily on my fall, whoever I fell on broke my fall. I came in and doc wanted me to do some X-rays, but I was ready to come back and get a win." |
|
February 13, 2007 Dwyane Wade bruised his left shoulder early in the third quarter of the Heat's game against Portland on Tuesday night but was able to return to action later in the quarter, according to the AP.

|
January 22, 2007 Dwyane Wade was held out Monday night due to his sprained ankle, the AP reports. He's considered day-to-day. "The swelling isn't that bad," coach Ron Rothstein said. "It's very, very tender and very sore. It's not as bad as they originally thought." |
|
January 22, 2007 The sprained ankle Dwyane Wade sustained on Sunday could keep him out of action on Monday, according to the Miami Herald. "It's pretty sore," Wade said. "I'll try to go home and ice it and hopefully it feels better [today]. If not, I'll just have to make a decision [today]." |

|
January 7, 2007 For the first time since spraining his right wrist, Dwyane Wade was able to practice on Saturday, according to the Miami Herald. It appears there's a decent chance that he will get back in the mix for Sunday's game.

|
January 5, 2007 Dwyane Wade continues to recover slowly from a sore wrist and although he's currently traveling with the team he will not play Friday, according to the Miami Herald. "It's not coming as quickly as I want it to come," Wade said. |
