There was no official update Sunday on whether Wade will be available for the biggest game in franchise history. The team said the situation with Wade’s strained ribcage muscle was “status quo.”
Wade’s agent, Henry Thomas, said the decision to sit out Game 6 was made after Wade consulted with the Heat’s medical staff. Thomas said Wade was “feeling better” Sunday, but it was “too soon to tell” if he would play Monday night.

If I had to put money on it. I’d say he’s playing.
I know the French Open went down this weekend, but this is the big story of the weekend. Wade doesn’t play and it isn’t a contest. If he can play after a cortizone shot, it’ll be on. If he can’t play, it could be a one sided contest.
The fan in me wants him to be out there, and I think it’s going to happen. If it’s one thing you can count on from atheletes today, it’s that they’ll sacrifice the body for a big game. Curt Schilling set the bar pretty high, but Wade will earn his cahones tomorrow night if he wins.
Billups and Prince woke up in game six. The jumpshooting from those two drives that offense. It’s tough inside, so they’ve got to hit their open looks to win. Hamilton will get his, as will either Eddie Jones or Rasul Butler. If the game is close, those those two – Eddie especially – will have an open three to turn it with. Let’s see what happens.
