Dwyane Wade: Cleared to play Monday

Wade (shoulder) has been cleared to play Monday against the Bulls, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.

Analysis:

After playing 37 minutes and tallying 22 points and four assists in the Heat's previous game Friday against the Raptors, Wade was fully expected to be available for Monday's contest, even though he'll likely be forced to play at less than 100 percent health. Fortunately for Wade, he'll likely have more support on his side Monday while he contends with a right shoulder impingement and a strained left shoulder, as point guard Beno Udrih (neck) has been cleared to play and forward Luol Deng (eye) is being listed as probable.
