He's listed as "day-to-day" right now.

The Bulls/Heat playoff series is all but over right now. The Heat are up 3-1 in the best-of-7 series, and the Bulls have looked extremely tired in the last two games. But there may be a small—a very small—glimmer of hope for the Bulls. According to numerous reports, Dwyane Wade may have to sit out of Game 5 of the series back in Miami with a bone bruise in his knee that's been bothering him for a couple weeks now. Technically, he's listed as "day-to-day." But all indications are that there's a very real chance of him sitting out Game 5.

If he does, the Bulls must capitalize on his absence and steal another game down in Miami. Otherwise, they'll be going back home and staying there until next season.
