Dwyane Wade Rejoins Heat as Mike Miller Leaves for Two Months

Filed under: Heat, Magic, NBA Preseason

TAMPA, Fla. - It was bad news for the more than 18,000 fans who bought tickets to a Heat/Magic exhibition game Friday night, but there was good news for the one star who wasn't even going to play anyway.

The game was canceled - less than an hour before tipoff -- because of unsafe court conditions, but not before Dwyane Wade had rejoined his teammates, completed his own workout on the same court, then pronounced himself mentally and physically ready to be at his best once again.

The Three Kings of Miami can finally get this thing started.

Wade hadn't played with all his new teammates since pulling a hamstring muscle in the fourth minute of the first exhibition game Oct. 5. He hadn't even been with his teammates the last two weeks, away in a Chicago courthouse giving testimony in a bitter and especially messy child custody case involving his two boys.

"I'm feeling good,'' he said when he met with reporters following the game's cancellation. "I'll go on to the next day, get another practice under my belt, and be ready for the opener.''
