Wade battles in his return



This is not the Dwyane Wade everyone is used to.

This isn't the player who, just three weeks ago, had briefly turned the Rookie of the Year campaign into a three-man race.

And this certainly isn't the Wade the Heat needs if it is going to make the playoffs for the first time in three years.

In the past three games, Wade's first games since suffering a bone contusion on his left foot Feb. 29, the rookie has averaged just 8.7 points, shot 35 percent from the floor and committed eight turnovers.

For the season, Wade is averaging 16.2 points and shooting 46 percent from the floor.

So what's wrong?

No one on the team has a specific answer, but no one is overly concerned either.

Wade having trouble adjusting to his role

Quote:
However, if Wade's replacement, Rafer Alston, continues to guide the Heat attack in the poised and efficient manner that he has of late, then the former Marquette star may have to adjust to coming off the bench for the first time in his basketball career -- at least until he's completely healthy.
