NEW YORK (NBA.com exclusive) — Dwyane Wade threw a scare into his coach, teammates and Miami Heat fans everywhere when he fell hard on his right wrist while trying to beat the halftime buzzer with a driving layup Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Miami superstar ended up lying still on the court and huddling with Miami’s team doctor for several moments before heading to the locker room for X-rays.
“I always [have] fear when I fall on this one because I’ve had trouble before so [I] don’t want that again. Before they take any X-rays, I just wanted to ice it down, let it calm down and it felt better, so I came back out and played,” Wade said after scoring 18 of his game-high 32 points in the second half of Miami’s 111-98 victory over the Knicks.
Wade’s hand was wrapped in ice as he spoke with a crowd of reporters after the game.
