See that photo of Dwyane Wade above? It features him playing basketball. No big deal, right? After all, that is what he does for a living. But, it's a sight that Heat fans haven't seen for awhile, since D-Wade hasn't suited up for the team since March 29 due to a nagging right knee injury. And, it sounds like he's prepared to possibly sit out until the NBA Playoffs start in order to make sure his knee feels better.

"The most important thing is to be healthy," he told reporters yesterday, speaking for the first time since he started sitting. "So when I feel it, then I'll get back on the court. Obviously, I want to play. But, I have to make sure that I'm right. You have to get healthy."

And, that might mean that he won't play again until the playoffs. So, enjoy that photo up there. It might be the last time you see D-Wade playing ball for awhile.
