Miami Heat

Wade has returned to the practice court and says he's encouraged about how his troublesome right knee feels, with the Miami Heat still three days away from starting the second round of the playoffs.

Following a rigorous practice Friday, Wade said the injury's something he has to play through, and while he's not 100 percent, he's grateful he can be on the court. The practice was the first for Wade since last week. He has been dealing with bone bruises around his right kneecap for more than a month, and sat out the Heat's series-clinching win Sunday at Milwaukee.

Wade added 14 for the Heat in Monday's 93-86 Game 1 loss to Chicago in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Wade (sore knee) didn't t start Game 4 in the first round as Miami knocked out Milwaukee.

Wade didn't make the trip to Cleveland for Monday's game and will rest.

Coach Erik Spoelstra has decided to rest the superstar along with Chris Bosh, LeBron James, Mario Chalmers and other top players.

Wade plans to return to the Miami Heat lineup on Friday, when the reigning NBA champions play host to the Boston Celtics.

Wade has missed Miami's last six games while dealing with knee and ankle issues. Wade tells The Associated Press that doctors eventually discovered three separate bone bruises around his right kneecap, but that rest and treatment has largely taken care of the problem.

Wade was back in the lineup when the Miami Heat try for their 28th consecutive victory on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls.

Wade says he is feeling better after a sore right knee sidelined him for victories over Charlotte and Orlando. Coach Erik Spoelstra calls the All-Star guard a game-time decision, but notes he went through the morning shootaround.

Wade had 24 points and nine assists as the Miami Heat equaled the second-longest winning streak in NBA history Sunday with a 108-91 win over Toronto, their 22nd consecutive victory.

Wade has scored 20 or more points in 13 consecutive games, averaging 25.2 over that stretch.

Wade scored 23 points and on a night where the stat sheet would suggest a struggle, the Heat rolled once again, extending their winning streak to 19 games and leading wire-to-wire in beating the Atlanta Hawks 98-81 on Tuesday.

Wade has shot 50 percent or better in 11 straight games.

Wade had 33 points in Saturday's 114-90 win over Philadelphia.

Wade is averaging 23.1 points and 52 percent shooting during the Heat's 10-0 run.

Wade scored on 12-of-18 shooting in a 107-97 victory over the Lakers on Sunday.

Wade has averaged 24.3 points, 5.8 assists and 5.2 rebounds in his last 10 games.

Wade had 20 points and a season-high 12 rebounds for Miami in Monday's 99-94 win over Charlotte.

Wade has two 10-rebound games this season. He had one last season.
