| September 29, 2008 Dwyane Wade led the NBA in turnovers last season and is working on limiting his mistakes in 2008, according to the Miami Herald. He said, "What I have to do is try not to have the lazy turnovers. I'm going to get some because I'm going to force some things. The game is about taking chances. Playing with new guys, I'm trying to get on the same page. It takes a while." |
| September 28, 2008 Dwyane Wade is disputing the rumor that he is interested in playing for the Knicks, according to the Miami Herald. He said, "The Newsday story was reported wrong. When they asked me about Knicks' coach Mike D'Antoni, I said when I played with him in the Olympics, if it was between him and Nate McMillan, I love being on the court with him. Miami is where I want to be. If I say I like a city, people will say I want to be playing in that city. And that doesn't mean that at all." |

| July 31, 2008 The Sun-Sentinel reports that Dwyane Wade is angry about those who have questioned his fitness, debate his value to the U.S. team and equate the Heat's drop in the standings to a supposed decline in his ability at age 26. "That's going to be like that probably all year, for a while, just that anger, that focus of getting back to total respect," he said by phone before joining his Olympic teammates at practice in Macau, China. "Any doubt that people have in their mind about you as a player, you want to erase it. Just like it was when I first came in the league, I played angry. So it's the same kind of feeling on the court." |

He's been kind of the most pleasant surprise of our three days because he didn't know what to expect because he was out the last portion of the season." |

"But 5-on-5 went well and I'm looking forward to next week, going back to my second week of 5-on-5 and the competition picking up more. I'm doing my job of trying to bring more competition down to Chicago." |
| June 5, 2008 Dwyane Wade spends the off-season in his Chicago-area hometown (attended Richards high school), but don't count on him becoming a member of the Bulls, according to the Miami Herald.

| May 6, 2008 Dwyane Wade is on to the next phase of his left knee rehab program.

| April 18, 2008 Dwyane Wade is aiming to play for Team USA in this summer's Olympics. He has yet to do any rehab on his left knee, which didn't allow him to take the court after March 8. Wade plans to begin working out on May 5, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports. The pre-Olympics mini-camp begins on June 27. |
| March 12, 2008 Dwyane Wade had an OssaTron procedure performed Tuesday and will be limited to non-contact exercise for the next 30 days, according to the AP. The 20-minute treatment came only one day after the Heat announced Wade would miss the rest of the season. |
| March 10, 2008 Dwyane Wade will undergo knee procedure, therefore ending his season, according to ESPN.com. This makes sense since the Heat have nothing left to play for. |
| March 9, 2008 Heat coach Pat Riley was asked Saturday why he doesn't just shut Dwyane Wade and his ailing knee down for the rest of the season, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "We're moving in that direction," Riley said. "This is the first flare-up that he had. It isn't something so debilitating and dangerous. It's soreness, borne out of almost the healing process." We've been warning most of the season that Wade likely would stop playing games as the regular season winds down, and now that moment appears to be on the horizon. He missed Friday's game due to his surgically repaired knee but played Saturday's regularly scheduled game and the do-over contest. He's day-to-day for now. |
| March 8, 2008 Dwyane Wade posted 24 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, and block in Miami's loss to the Atlanta Hawks this evening. The supporting cast for Wade nearly pulled off a much-needed victory, but both Wade and Ricky Davis shots from beyond the three-point arc in the waining seconds to force overtime. The point production has to be a bit relieving for fans of Wade with memories of potential knee problems looming, but a win would be nice. |
| March 7, 2008 Dwyane Wade missed Friday night's start due to soreness in his surgically repaired knee but could be back in action on Saturday, according to the Star Tribune. The injury woes continue for the Heat. |
| March 1, 2008 Dwyane Wade said he's not inclined to take coach Pat Riley up on his offer to shut the superstar down for the season due to his still-recovering, surgically repaired knee, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "Right now," Wade said, "my job is to come out here every day and lead my team." Wade added that Riley hasn't actually spoken to him directly about being shut down at some point. Still, Wade has never looked close to fully recovered from the surgery this season, despite his quality overall fantasy performance. He's the franchise, and the Heat are pathetic, so it would be a greater surprise if he's still balling come April. |
| February 29, 2008 Coach Pat Riley is thinking about shutting Dwyane Wade down for the rest of the season. "Somewhere along the way, if this thing gets further away from us, then I think it would be prudent to say, 'We've got to take care of our best asset,'" Riley told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Has Wade, who came back in November from shoulder knee surgeries, not been fully healthy all year? It would seem that's the case. Regardless, this is obviously not good news for his owners. Look to move him now while you can, and while you're at it, go ahead and pick up Ricky Davis and Dorell Wright, both of whom would see their value jump if Wade is shut down. |
| February 29, 2008 Dwyane Wade backed up a 15 point outing in his last game with only 18 points in a blowout loss to the Lakers on Thursday night. Wade made just 6 of 17 shots on the night while he committed four turnovers pulled one rebound, and dished out a measly three assists. How much worse can it get in Miami? On the rare nights that Wade doesn't have his "A" game, there just isn't anyone else on the Heat that is capable of taking over the game. Look for Wade to have a nice bounceback game the next time the Heat take the court. |
| February 21, 2008 Dwyane Wade played great, he scored 33 points and dished out 11 assists, but he couldn't stop the Heat from losing for the 25th time in 26 games 112-100 to the Rockets. Wade has now scored at least 29 points in three straight games, but it matters little as the Heat flat out stink. The good news is that there is no one to take shots from Wade, so look for the superb numbers to continue as long as he can stay healthy. |
| February 14, 2008 Dwyane Wade scored 30 points on Thursday night in a loss to the Bulls. It was Miami's 24th in the last 25 games. Wade exceeded 20 points for the second straight game after scoring 19 points in the two previous contests. The Heat shooting guard also had seven rebounds and seven assists in the loss. |
| February 13, 2008 With Shaq out of town, Udonis Haslem and Alonzo Mourning injured and Mark Blount and Earl Barron more face-up oriented players, Dwyane Wade will be used in the post more often. "We haven't run a post-up play in the last month, but we're going to have to find that," coach Pat Riley said in the Miami Herald. "Dwyane is going to take on that presence a little more down there. That's the next step in his development. Finding a post-up presence is always important, and it's on our short list of things to do." |
| February 10, 2008 Dwyane Wade scored 19 points, registered nine assists and five rebounds in Sunday's 104-94 loss to the Lakers. Wade is struggled to find a groove in the team's new rotation. Wade had nine turnovers Sunday, and now has 19 in his last three games. Wade did record four steals and remains a must start even playing for the dismal Heat and with his recent ill advised decisions. |
| February 7, 2008 The Shaq-less Miami Heat were rumored that they might be better without injured Shaquille O'Neal in their lineup. If Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers is any indication of their talent and new chemistry, things don't appear to be much different than they were before trading the 14-time All-Star center. Andre Iguodala scored 25 points and Andre Miller added 21, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a 101-84 victory over the short-handed Heat on Thursday night. Miami has lost six straight games and 21 of its last 22 with Wade struggling to 19 point performance on 5-for-17 shooting; well below his 24.3 per-game average. |
| February 4, 2008 Dwyane Wade was limited to just 12 points on Monday night as the hapless Heat fell for the 19th time in 20 games, including losing 10 of their last 11 games at home. The best Miami players in the 114-82 loss to the Raptors were Dorell Wright who scored 17 points and pulled eight rebounds and Alexander Johnson who had a double-double with 10 and 10. |
| February 1, 2008 Dwyane Wade is slated to return to action on Friday, according to the Miami Herald. He missed Wednesday's game due to the flu and had been listed as questionable for tonight's contest, but he took part in the morning shootaround and said he'd be ready to roll this evening. |
| February 1, 2008 Dwyane Wade is considered to be questionable for Friday's game due to the flu, according to the Miami Herald. He's still battling the illness that kept him from taking part in Wednesday's run. He may end up a game-time call, depending on how much his condition improved overnight. |
| January 30, 2008 Heat guard Dwyane Wade will not play on Wednesday due to flu-like symptoms, the AP reported. |
| January 9, 2008 Dwyane Wade returned to the starting lineup in Tuesday's loss at Minnesota, finishing with 25 points and seven assists in 39 minutes. He's playing through an assortment of injuries right now, and you have to wonder if the club, which fell to 8-27, might shut him down at some point in the second half, thinking about the future. |
| January 8, 2008 Heat coach Pat Riley is concerned about guard Dwyane Wade, who is dealing with compensation injuries related to last seasons shoulder dislocation which Riley told the AP was more serious than most people realize. Wade is playing with soreness in his shoulder and knee, as well as a bruised right shoulder, an injured shin and a jammed finger. Wade isnt waiting for the soreness to go away. Ive just reached a point where I understand this is just how my body is going to feel, Wade said. Its just how its going to be, so you just got to toughen up mentally and go forward. |
| January 7, 2008 Dwyane Wade was able to return to action Sunday after missing Friday's game due to injuries. He came off the bench, at his own request, according to the Miami Herald. He racked up 18 points, nine dimes and four steals, despite his shoulder, knee and finger injuries. It's not clear if Wade will start Tuesday, but it appears he should play. |
| January 6, 2008 After missing Friday's game due to various maladies, Dwyane Wade was able to practice on Saturday. However, he'll be a game-time call on Sunday, according to the Miami Herald. All Wade is dealing with is sore shoulders, a jammed finger on his right hand and a sore surgically repaired knee. That's a lot even for a tough guy like Wade to handle, so we'll have to wait to see what he does on Sunday. |
| January 5, 2008 Dwyane Wade skipped Friday's game due to his sore shoulder and a jammed finger. It's not clear when he will return, but clearly Wade is far from 100 percent healthy. |
