Wade at shootaround, expected to play (AP)

Heat guard Dwyane Wade is expected to play in Miami's game Friday night against the Charlotte Bobcats. Wade has been battling a deeply bruised right thigh for nearly a week. He did not play in Miami's 90-85 loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday, then was able to do some on-court work Thursday and joined the Heat for their shootaround practice Friday morning.
