Dwyane Wade rolled his right ankle after coming down on Al Harrington’s foot in the Heat’s 117-104 loss to the Nuggets on Friday.

"I've sprained my ankle plenty of times," Wade said. "I've never really sprained it like that before … (A sprain) never hurt that bad before … I stole (the ball) and I think was going to turn around, and it just went."

Wade entered the game bothered by a left foot contusion that had cost him three games earlier this month. Wade’s averaging just 19.6 points, on pace to be by far his lowest since his rookie season of 2003-04.

"I think from an individual, it's hurt him," LeBron James said. "I think it's probably frustrating for him that he's not been able to have his explosiveness. We haven't seen his Eurostep at all this year because that … foot is where he usually steps off, and he's kind of timid to even use that. A lot of his moves that he hasn't been able to use thus far this year because he's afraid that he may reinjure his foot."
