Heating up: Wade returns

04.8.2007

Miami, FL (Basketball News) - Miami guard Dwyane Wade returned to game action Sunday, less than two months after suffering a dislocated left shoulder.

Wade didn’t start Sunday’s 111-103 overtime loss at home to Charlotte, but he did finish with 12 points, eight assists and six turnovers in over 26 minutes of action.

He first entered the contest with 3:58 left in the opening quarter, but his first basket didn’t come until the opening two minutes of the fourth. Wade hit one free throw near the end of regulation to force overtime, but the Heat lost and saw their lead over Washington trimmed to 2 1/2 games in the Southeast Division.

Wade originally suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of a 112-102 loss at Houston on February 21. The star guard came into Sunday’s action averaging 28.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists this season.
