Miami's Dwyane Wade and Nets' Deron Williams out
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade and New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams missed Monday night's game with injuries.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said that Wade was being given a day off as part of a maintenance program for a right ankle injury that has sidelined him a couple of times. The All-Star had 28 points and nine assists in a win over the Knicks on Sunday.
Miami is 11-1 in games that Wade does not start.
Williams injured his right calf on Saturday night in a loss to Boston. With backup Jordan Farmar out with a groin injury, Sundiata Gaines started for the Nets.
Spoelstra also said that center Ronny Turiaf (hamstring) and forward Shane Battier (neck-back) probably would miss the game.
