MIAMI ? (AP) ? Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade missed the team's morning shootaround practice because of flu-like symptoms, but coach Pat Riley said his leading scorer would be ready for Friday night's playoff game against Detroit.

 

Riley said Wade was being treated, but did not divulge any specifics of the illness.

 

"He'll be out there tonight,'' Riley said.

 

Wade was not suffering from the virus during Miami's Game 5 loss at Detroit on Wednesday night in the Eastern Conference finals, Riley said.

 

Wade is averaging a team high 27 points for the Heat, who could advance to the NBA finals for the first time with a victory over the Pistons on Friday.

 

 

 

now this deserves its own thread this is not good for the Heat....we need a 100% Wade out there

Similiarities, possible future?

 

I hope so

I remember Jordan would always catch the flu or a virus before almost every key game. And he played most of those games spectatular. Dwade better play like Jordan tonight we need it.

Oh Jesus.

Terrific.

Who here is suprised about this???

 

DAMN!

curse of the eddie jones

Rumor has it he spent all day in the hospital vomitting. Not sure if it's true...I think it was reported on WQAM.

For some reason, it always seems Stars play their best when they've gone through a harrowing day of sickness.

Anything short of the bird flu....and Wade will be out there as good as ever. Vomiting kept his mind off the pressure.

i bet some clever little cook up in motown slipped something unseemly into our boy's baked beans.
