Wade out with flu symptons

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade was not with the team on its morning flight to Orlando and will miss Wednesday night's game against the Magic the Miami Herald reported.

Wade, who has been coping with flu-like symptoms the past three days, left Tuesday's game against the Celtics in the second half for treatment. He scored a season-low seven points on 1-of-9 shooting and played just 28 minutes in the Heat's 117-87 loss.

Wade's absence leaves the Heat (9-34) without three starters for the game against the Magic (28-18), which has won seven consecutive games against Miami. Heat forward Udonis Haslem also did not travel Wednesday to rest a severe left ankle sprain he sustained in the second quarter against Boston. An x-ray Tuesday night was negative, but Haslem could miss at least a week.

    Ricky Davis and Blount need to step their game up, but it really doesn't matter because the ship has started to sink

    Miami fans get used to Wade being hurt every year, his commercial is fake and don't believe the hype. Wade is a 1 and done guy, Miami winning the championship that year was a Joke, Dallas should have won it all that year and the refs handed the trophy to Miami. Wade is another Grant Hill, face it.

    aww, the great Wade has a sniffle. Remember the days when our image of him was that of a mature family man? Being perceived as a star certainly has a way of changing folks

    DWADE is the most overrated player i have seen in my lifetime. any comment poster on yahoo can score 20+ points per game, if given 28 free throws. hes the biggest pu$$y in the association, being wheeled off in a wheelchair for a shoulder injury, missed conference final games with "flu like symptoms" and other assorted injuries, and whines and complains the whole way like a big baby. without shaq clogging the lane, and the referees on his side (not anymore on both counts) he is completely exposed fore what he is, a human turnover machine with 18 foot range and a crybaby........LOLFROFLLMAOROFLCOPTERBBQBRBLOL.

    Riley needs to go back up stairs, trade shaq for anything that you can get, than make wade sit the rest of the year to get healthy. Than you go after young talented players to build around wade so that you can have a run of 4-6 years and not just 1 and one. shaqs old and wades hurt, time to do it over.

    I think Wade has losing-itis. No way on earth that D-Wade sits out with the flu if the Heat are winning games.

    miami is doomed unless shaq retires which he wont cuz he wants his money. Blame shaq and riley for all of miami's problems. If wade is smart, he should sit out the season to get healthy and opt out of his contract to go to a real team.

    I find it hard not to say I TOLD U SO!!!!!!!! but I said Dwayne Wade was way over-rated and it is showing now. I think I can remember when the Heat fans were insisting that Dwayne Wade was better than Lebron James!!!!. You have to be kidding me.....Dwayne Wade is nowhere the player Lebron is and the only reason he one a ring was because he had Shaq on the squad. So i am gonna say it again....Lebron James is and will be for a very long time the most dominate player in the NBA.....get used to it and when Wade and James careers are over I think its safe to say one will be headed to the hall of fame while the other will be remembered as a mediocre player at best. Long live the KING
