Dwyane Wade To Make Return On Friday Night Against Knicks

And he’s back! After two weeks on the shelf with an sprained right ankle, Dwyane Wade will make his return on Friday night as the Miami Heat face the New York Knicks. Wade was dealing with a variety of ailments over the past two weeks, though the ankle was the most significant problem. This photo and video explain why pretty nicely.

After testing his ankle on Wednesday and looking pretty healthy in the process, the Heat announced Wade wasn’t quite ready. But he was close, even if the team maintained he would remain out for a while longer.

Dwyane Wade was on the court, going through a battery of drills in an effort to test his sprained ankle ahead of Wednesday night’s matchup with the Detroit Pistons. And though Wade appeared to respond to the workout well, he will miss Wednesday’s game, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra.

The news comes from Ira Winderman of the Orlando Sentinel.

Wade is averaging 19.6 PPG in 9 games so far this season.
