During the 2nd quarter of Thursday night’s game between the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers, Heat guard Dwyane Wade was looking to get some space for a baseline jumper, but slipped on the court and injured his left knee.
As his momentum was taken him to the right, the weight of his body fell the other way and contorted his left leg below the knee at a weird angle. Wade left the game and did not return.
Here is a video with another angle of the play — Wade grimaces and clutches at his left knee as soon as he goes down:
Wade had that same knee drained last week, and was noticeably discomforted as he worked his way back to the locker room.
