After Supposed Injury, Arenas Plays -- And Plays Well -- In Heat Game

The lack of depth at guard was made more complicated by G Randy Foye’s ankle injury last night (he’s day-to-day), but was a problem regardless of Foye. The Wizards need a steadying hand to come on in reserve, and in Boykins, that’s exactly what they’ll get. A tiny, steadying hand, attached to a 5’5 frame that even the deepest cynics among us can’t help but love.

(Sports Network) – Dwyane Wade posted 40-plus points for the second time in a week against Washington, scoring 41 to help the Miami Heat take a 90-76 decision from the Wizards.

Wade also notched five rebounds with as many assists, while Michael Beasley contributed 15 points for Miami, which improved to 6-1 — its best start to the season since 1999-2000.

Tricky, that Gilbert Arenas. A calf injury was supposed to keep him out of tonight’s Heat game; instead, Arenas suited up after all, and is leading the Wizards with 20 points in the fourth quarter. Thanks for the heads up there, Gil.
