<p>The Miami Heat will be without star guard Dwyane Wade when they host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.</p>

</p>
<p>That means that we will be robbed completely of a matchup of two of the best shooting guards in the NBA in Dwyane Wade and Manu Ginobili, who is out for an extended period of time with a hand injury.</p>
<p>Wade has been hampered by injuries throughout the year, but the specific one keeping him out of this game will be ab ankle injury. But missing this contest, and by the sound of that tweet perhaps the next handful of games, it will give Wade an opportunity to rest up and get completely healthy before returning to the lineup.</p>

<p>The Miami Heat have struggle over their last few games, and that may be because their star shooting guard has had to deal with some injuries that aren't allowing him to be 100 percent. The latest is a sprained ankle that happened when Wade and the Heat were playing the Nuggets over the weekend. Eric Spoelstra is calling the guard day-to-day, but apparently that isn't the only thing in Wade's lower half that is bothering him,<a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2012/1/14/2706593/dwyane-wade-injury-miami-heat-right-ankle/in/2471538"> according to SB Nation.</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>In addition to the sprained ankle, Wade is also suffering from a strained calf and bruised left foot. He's already missed three games this season dealing with his other ailments, but Friday's ankle injury seems to be the most severe of his problems at the moment.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Then there was this tweet from Wade himself.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p>Tired & ankle isn't feeling so gd- I wnt b able 2 2 step 2nite haha but U only get 1 BIG 30th. Let's get it 2nite Miami..</p>

<p>A bruised foot has sidelined Dwyane Wade since Jan. 2. Might he be suffering from plantar fasciitis? Neither he nor his coach would rule it out, a new report says.</p> <p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hothothoops.com/">Miami Heat</a> guard <span>Dwyane Wade</span> might have plantar fasciitis in his left foot, which would explain his absence from the court since Jan. 2, <a href="http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-heat/sfl-miami-heat-dwyane-wade-s010912,0,7470130.story" target="blank">according</a> to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Following Monday's practice, neither coach <span>Erik Spoelstra</span> nor Wade could rule out plantar fasciitis as the root of Wade's problems.</p>
<p>"It's mostly a bruise," Spoelstra said, according to the report. "And down there, when you get kicked a lot of times, it can feel like plantar fasciitis. But he's feeling better and we're able to give him extended rest and treatment and we'll have to see how he feels."</p>
<p>Wade received extra treatment for the injury Monday. Spoelstra said it's possible Wade could play Tuesday's game against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/">Golden State Warriors</a>.</p>
<p>"It could be three different things," Wade said. "[Plantar fasciitis] is one of them. The bruise is one of 'em. Maybe it's a combination. I just know that it's in the area of the plantar fascia and I know it's brusied, as well. Whatever it is, it's just taking its course, taking its time to get healthy."</p>
<p>Miami has gone 3-0 in Wade's avsence and is in the midst of a five-game, nine-day road trip. At 8-1, the Heat lead the Eastern Conference.</p>
<p>Wade, 29, has struggled in the early going of the 2011/12 season, likely a result of the bruise. His 44.6 percent shooting is a career-worst, while his 18.8 scoring average is his lowest since his rookie season.</p>
