Dwyane Wade avoided the details of an injury he suffered during Thursday night's Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

The Miami Heat superstar injured his hip during a collision with Dallas Mavericks forward Brian Cardinal in the first quarter. Wade returned to the locker room twice and did not start the second half.

"It was unfortunate that I had to leave the game, but I came back and I finished it," he said. "I'll be fine Sunday. ... No problem at all. I'll be good for Game 6."

The veteran guard steered clear of making excuses, despite admitting that he was not 100 percent.

"I'm smart enough to play the game without obviously being 100 percent," he said. "That's all I did when I came back. I wanted to help us get back in this ballgame, and I was able to be effective in a sense."
