Dwyane Wade has missed the past three games with what the team had termed a bruised left foot.

"It's just hurting," Wade said. "It could be three different things. That's one of them. The bruise is one of 'em. Maybe it's a combination. I just know that it's in the area of the plantar fascia and I know it's bruised, as well. Whatever it is, it's just taking its course, taking its time to get healthy."

Wade was injured two weeks ago against the Charlotte Bobcats, when he said a player stepped on his foot. He sat out at the start of the second half of that game, returned to hit the game-winning shot, played the next three games, and now has missed the past three.
