Dwyane Wade sat out for the second game in a row as he continued to rest a sore right knee.
Wade said he underwent an MRI that returned negative and said the pain in his knee was diminishing.
“It’s just a bruise,” Wade said. “It’s just about understanding when you have something lingering it can affect other parts of your body. You have to be smart about it.
“You have to understand what’s coming down for our team in the next few days. [Sunday] was a good day, and hopefully it will feel better by Wednesday so I can get back on the court.”
Wade said he first took a hit on the knee in the team’s previous home game against Orlando on March 6, then hit it again against the Celtics on March 18.
