Bulls' Dwyane Wade: Downgraded to doubtful Wednesday vs. Magic
Wade (thigh) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis:
Despite participating in portions of Tuesday's practice, Wade's left thigh is apparently still causing him significant pain. Even though the Bulls are fighting for a playoff spot, coach Fred Hoiberg isn't eager to rush Wade back at less than full strength, so he'll presumably be held out for a second straight game in order to regain some health. If he ultimately ends up missing Wednesday's tilt, Paul Zipser would be in store for another start on the wing.
