Wade May Not Rehab in Time for Camp

mikhail1973 · Jul 16, 2007

lthough Wade said his rehabilitation from knee and shoulder operations is going well, the 2006 NBA finals MVP may not be ready to play when Miami opens training camp in early October _ casting some doubt whether the Heat's top scorer will be on the floor when the regular season begins.

"I'm a fast healer, but my doctor really wants to make sure I'm well and I'm healthy and we don't have to go through this process again," Wade said at the court dedication, part of a program sponsored by Staples and his Wade's World foundation. "He'd rather for me not to rush back to get in training camp and maybe aggravate something early in the season."

Wade had surgery on May 15, both on his left side. He said the knee operation, which was to relieve tendinitis, typically is followed by a three-month rehab program. But the shoulder procedure _ necessary because he dislocated the joint in February, causing him to miss 23 games _ usually requires six months before a patient is fully healed.

The regular season opens in late October.

It didn't look like Heat was going anywhere fast, but with this they may struggle to make playoffs.

I just heard on ESPN that Wade is now projected to miss the first month of the season.

That is why Riley is looking for someone to run the team. They need a PG.
