No minutes restriction for Dwyane Wade

Coach Erik Spoelstra won't have a minutes restriction on Dwyane Wade when the Heat begin their title defense on Sunday, even though the All-Star guard hasn't played more than 23 minutes in a game in nearly a month.

"I don't have a restriction with him," Spoelstra said Saturday, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I'm going to read his body language; I'm going to read the game. I'm going to have communication constantly with him. But he's cleared to play."
