Wade, Deng out for Heat on Friday

Neither Dwyane Wade nor Luol Deng will suit up for the Miami Heat on Friday against the Washington Wizards.

Deng had been listed as doubtful earlier in the day with a thigh contusion, but Wade's absence came as a surprise, and was announced 20 minutes before tipoff. The team said Wade has a sore right hip.

As a result, the Heat are severely undermanned against a Southeast Division rival, starting Tyler Johnson and Henry Walker in the wounded wings' place.

Wade had played the last eight games since returning from a hamstring injury that kept him out seven straight contests. He and Deng represent 35.3 points per game for Miami.
