Wade wasn't present at shootaround Thursday, but expects to play later in the evening against the Jazz, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.

Analysis:

Wade was absent for personal reasons, but it sounds as though the Heat don't believe it will prevent him from rejoining the squad later on. The veteran guard is coming off of a rough game Tuesday against the Lakers, as he scored just 12 points in 25 minutes.
