KT Tape for Dwayne Wade's Hip Injury?
JUNE 10, 2011
Heat and Mavericks fans watched closely as the Mavs shot ahead in the fourth quarter for another home court win; Dallas now leads the NBA Finals Series 3-2. Game 5 was the first time Miami lost consecutive playoff games this season- and is likely largely due to a collision late in the first quarter between Dwayne Wade and Brian Cardinal. Get Dwayne Wade some KT Tape!
Wade took two trips to the locker room to have his injury checked out during the game, and seemed to be favoring his hip throughout the remaining quarters. Hopefully his trainer knows about the KT Tape Hip Applications! Marc Stein on ESPN.com reports:
As for how badly Wade is hurt heading into Sunday, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said: "Way too early [to know]. We'll have to see how it responds tomorrow. When he's able to sweat and keep it warm, he was fine. Fortunately we have an extra day. We'll see if that's enough."
The Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki was also injured earlier in the series- he could have used the KT Tape Finger Jam application for an injury to the tendon in his left-middle finger. However, Nowitzki seems be suffering no ill-effects from that pain as the leading scorer for the Mavericks last night.
Watch the outcome of Dwayne Wades injury for yourself when the Heat host the Mavericks for NBA Game 6 in Miami this Sunday!
