Wade in, Posey questionable for Heat vs. Bobcats

Apr 10, 2007 - 2:19 PM Miami (42-35) at Charlotte (31-47) 7:00 pm EDT

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Ticker) -- Dwyane Wade could return to the starting lineup Tuesday when the Miami Heat visit the Charlotte Bobcats.

After just over a month of rehabilitating his dislocated left shoulder, Wade was removed from the inactive list and was in uniform for the Heat's 111-103 overtime home loss against the Bobcats on Sunday.

Wade, who did not start, finished with 12 points on 3-of-9 shooting and eight assists in 27 minutes. He also had six turnovers.

"We were out of rhythm but we have to get that back real soon," Wade said. "I missed some foul shots and got involved in some turnovers but you know me, I won't do that too often."

Wade, who wore a protective sleeve over his shoulder, could be back in the starting lineup Tuesday.

While Wade is back, the Heat could be without forward James Posey, who was arrested early Monday on drunken driving charge.

Miami enters this contest 2 1/2 games in front of fading Washington in the Southeast Division.

Walter Herrmann scored 15 points in Sunday's win for Charlotte, which has won five of its last seven contests.
