Star guard Dwyane Wade will be out indefinitely with a sprained right ankle suffered the fourth quarter of a defeat at Denver on Friday, coach Erik Spoelstra said Sunday.
"Thankfully it's not in a cast or boot and he is walking around," Spoelstra said.
The latest injury to Wade made for an even more depressing end to the Heat's five-game western road trip, which they ended with three defeats on the trot.
Wade had already missed playing time in this lockout-shortened season with a bruised left foot and battled a painful right strained calf.
"He probably needed to sit down and rest in the first place ... it's a blessing in disguise," said forward Chris Bosh. "We need to be healthy when it's time to make a run in the playoffs -- that's the most important thing."
Forward LeBron James agreed.
"We'd rather him be 100 percent healthy than playing where he's not comfortable."
