ESPN.com news services
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade will undergo a procedure on his left knee and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, according to published reports.
"I think it's time. We've been walking around on eggshells with this thing," Heat coach Pat Riley told reporters. "This treatment will help him."
Wade will undergo a stimulation treatment on Tuesday, according to the Miami Herald.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel said the procedure would keep Wade off the court for 30 days. Miami's season ends April 16.
Wade missed Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors after publicly discussing his sore knee. Wade managed to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday, but asked Riley to limit his minutes, according to the Herald.
Heading into Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Heat are an NBA-worst 11-51 this season.
