Bulls' Dwyane Wade: Will warm up Wednesday, but unlikely to play

Wade (thigh) is expected to warm up prior to Wednesday's game against the Magic, but it remains unlikely that he'll play, ESPN.com's Nick Friedell reports.

Analysis:

After Wade was only a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, the Bulls labeled Wade as doubtful for the contest, and that still appears to remain the case following his absence from Wednesday's morning shootaround. Though the team is technically now listing Wade as a game-time decision, it doesn't seem promising that he'll make enough progress in the hours leading up to tip off for the Bulls to clear him to suit up. Assuming Wade misses his third straight game, the Bulls could have few playmakers available, as Jimmy Butler (illness) and Rajon Rondo (ankle) are also trending toward game-time decisions and uncertain to dress.
