Dwyane Wade leaves Heat game with New Jersey Nets

All-Star MVP Dwyane Wade was knocked out of the Miami Heat's game against New Jersey on Wednesday night because of a strained left calf.

Wade played had eight points in the opening 7:26 of the first period before leaving the game. It was not clear when Wade was injured.

Heat center Jermaine O'Neal strained his lower back in a fall in the opening 1:55, but the team expected him to return.

O'Neal was hurt when he went up to block a shot by Devin Harris and fell on his back when teammate Rafer Alston fell and took out the center's legs as he came down.
