Wade Out For The Rest Of The Season

Text

Miami Heat is in great difficulties as a result of Wade's injury.

The current NBA champions Miami Heat's series of injury problems continues. After Shaquille O'Neal returned to the court, Miami almost started to play well again and it seemed that they were getting in good shape for the play-offs. Coach Pat Riley has also returned at last night's game against Houston. However, Miami has suffered another shock. They have most likely lost their top scorer and best player Dwayne Wade to a left shoulder injury until the end of the regular part of the season. The truly great responsibility of making up for the loss and replacing Wade, who has scored 28.9 points and had 7.9 assists on average this season, will rest on the veteran Eddie Jones.

Can the 1998/99 season, when the Bulls did not manage to qualify for the play-offs as champions, be repeated this year?
