Thanks. I was wondering that.

MIAMI -- All-Star MVP Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat is no longer in a walking boot and remains listed as day-to-day with a strained left calf.
The star guard underwent tests Sunday that confirmed the injury - sustained last week in a game against New Jersey - is not more severe than first thought.
The Heat said Wade will continue to undergo treatment.
Wade is fifth in the NBA in scoring this season at 26.1 points per game.
The Heat's best offer included a package of multiple players (Udonis Haslem, Quentin Richardson, Dorell Wright, Mario Chalmers, Daequan Cook were floated); and two No. 1 draft picks, at least one from another team. Not only did the Heat never offer Michael Beasley, but Phoenix wasn't high on him anyway, though other teams inquired. . . . Miami refused Phoenix's plea to take Jason Richardson in the deal. . . . Although Stoudemire's defense is criticized, the Heat believes he would be effective defensively in its system/culture. Miami is high on his list in free agency. . . . Before Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood were dealt from Washington to Dallas, Miami had interest in a deal bringing those two and Stoudemire here. But Phoenix said no. . . . The Heat pursued Utah's Carlos Boozer only to use him to get Stoudemire, not to keep him.
Dwyane Wade (calf) had a productive workout on Tuesday and the Heat are "cautiously optimistic" that he'll be available for back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday.
