Bulls' Dwyane Wade: Will sit out Saturday vs. Mavericks

Wade will sit out Saturday's game against the Mavericks for rest, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

The Bulls revealed their plan to rest Wade for Saturday's game prior to Friday's 111-105 win over the Cavaliers. With that in mind, coach Fred Hoiberg handed Wade a hefty workload Friday, and the veteran contributed 24 points (11-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes. Isaiah Canaan is the leading candidate to enter the starting five in Wade's stead and should benefit from an uptick in playing time.
