 DALLAS (AP) - If Thursday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks is any indicator, it may be a hard road for the Miami Heat without Dwyane Wade. One night after Wade dislocated his left shoulder, the Mavericks jumped out to a 23-point halftime lead on the way to a 112-100 victory over the defending NBA champs.
Wade is considering season-ending surgery to repair his shoulder after he was hurt in the fourth quarter of Wednesday night's 112-102 loss at Houston. Wade flew home early Thursday in a private plane and was examined at a hospital by team physician Dr. Harlan Selesnick, who conducted a battery of tests.
And without Wade — the NBA's third-leading scorer at nearly 29 points per game — the Heat didn't look like the same team that won Game 6 of the championship series on Dallas' home floor.
