"At times they've used the heavy bag to hit his shoulder, have him go through it so he can feel it," Riley said. "But he feels pretty strong. It's just taking it to the next level." Wade practiced Monday for the first time in more than a month. His return to game action remains uncertain. "You can see the natural tendency for him to kind of avoid certain things," Riley said. "Coming off pick-and-rolls, defending, catch-and-shoots, where his shoulder is vulnerable to being hit, he's going to have to just get through that."</div> Source-->PalmBeach Post
I`m hearing D-Wade could come off the bench in the few games next week. You don`t want Wade starting fresh in the playoffs, he may need a little bit to regain the fire. The games next week would be a smart move.
