Bulls' Dwyane Wade: Ruled out Monday vs. Pistons

Wade (thigh) won't play in Monday's game against the Pistons, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Wade missed Sunday's practice with the thigh injury and wasn't able to take part in the Bulls' morning shootaround, prompting the team to rule him out for the evening. He'll be evaluated on a day-to-day basis, with his next opportunity to see the floor coming Wednesday against the Magic. In Wade's absence, Paul Zipser and Denzel Valentine are the leading candidates to start on the wing, though both should be in store for extra playing time.
