Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade returned to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Wade missed Tuesday's win over Philadelphia with a sore left knee, which he originally suffered Sunday. He had been listed as a game-time decision against the Thunder, but the team announced less than an hour beforehand that he would be in uniform. The perennial All-Star is averaging 22.8 points, sixth-best in the NBA, along with 5.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists.
