Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade is scheduled to undergo a follow-up procedure on his surgically repaired left knee, and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Wade will have a stimulation treatment on Tuesday, Coach Pat Riley told The Miami Herald Monday morning.
''I think it's time. We've been walking around on eggshells with this thing,'' Riley said about Wade. ``This treatment will help him.''
Wade's status for the rest of the season had been in question since he quietly complained of significant soreness in the knee about two weeks ago. He made those concerns public when he missed Friday's game against Golden State.
Wade played Saturday against Atlanta, but asked Riley to limit his minutes. Wade is one of several players wirth injuries who will miss tonight's game against the Clippers. Forward Udonis Haslem (ankle), center Earl Barron (knee) and guard Marcus Banks (hamstring) will also be sidelined with injuries.
The Heat, 11-51, has 21 games remaining.
