Wade Out For Wednesday's Game Against The Magic
MIAMI (CBS4) ―
Things keep getting worse for the reeling Miami Heat.
Still suffering from flu-like symptoms All-Star guard Dwyane Wade will miss Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic who lead the Southeast Division.
Also out - starting forward Udonis Haslem, who has a sprained left ankle. The team is already playing without injured centers Shaquille O'Neal and Alonzo Mourning. O'Neal will miss another week, at least, with a sore hip;
Mourning's season ended last month when he tore a knee tendon.
So far this season, Miami is 9-34, a stunning decline for the team that won the 2006 NBA championship. Since winning that title, the Heat have gone 53-76 -- with injury battles being a constant factor.
