Whether Dwyane Wade returns isn’t the only uncertainty facing the Heat at shooting guard. There also remains the unanswered question about when Dion Waiters will be back from January ankle surgery.
Long before undergoing the surgery on Jan. 22, Waiters said recovery from such a procedure would last eight to 10 months. The eight-month mark would be Sept. 22. Ten months would be late November. The team has not disclosed a timetable.
Guard Briante Weber said Thursday that Waiters is not participating in any contact work with teammates or playing pickup games.
“He’s doing his own workouts; he is on his own lane,” Weber said at Bam Adebayo’s South Beach event benefiting Adebayo’s charitable foundation.
