MIAMI (AP) - Dwyane Wade played with knee pain throughout the playoffs. He'll
soon know exactly what was causing that problem, and if it could keep him out
of the London Olympics.

One day after celebrating his second NBA championship, the Miami Heat guard
told The Associated Press on Friday that he will soon have his ailing left
knee examined, and acknowledges that surgery may be a possibility. Wade
appeared in all 23 postseason games for Miami, averaging 22.8 points, and
scored 20 in the title-clinching win for the Heat against Oklahoma City on
Thursday night.

"I've got to make a decision on what my knee needs and what's best, because
my career and finishing my career strong is what's important to me," Wade
said. "And I know, yeah, the Olympics are coming up. It's something I really
want to do. But at the same time, if I have to make a big decision, if
something has to happen surgery-wise, that will have to be a step I have to
take. My loyalty and my commitment to Miami Heat basketball is the No. 1
thing."

An MRI exam will likely take place in the next few days. Wade had the knee
drained during Miami's second-round series against Indiana.

"From my small conversations with the doctor at that time, I think some kind
of cleanup process might have to go on," Wade said. "And when that happens,
from our previous experiences, it takes a while to recover. So I want to make
sure that I want to recover strong and not like I did the last knee surgery
that I had."

Wade had surgery on his left knee in May 2007. He led the Americans in
scoring at the Beijing Olympics, averaging 16 points despite coming off the
bench in all eight games.

USA Basketball plans to have the national team convene in Las Vegas and for
training camp to start there on July 6. From there, the American team will go
to Washington to begin training on July 13, with more sessions beginning July
17 in Manchester, England, and July 20 in Barcelona. The Olympics begin July
27 and the first game for the Americans in London is against France two days
later.

The time demands could be daunting, especially with this NBA season ending a
bit later than usual because schedule changes necessitated by the lockout.

"This is the hand that's dealt to us," Wade said. "And I'm going to take this
hand, I'm not going to complain and I'm going to move forward."

Wade said Heat doctors and trainers worked with him to find ways of ensuring
that playing in the postseason would not make whatever the knee problem is
any worse. He also spent time with his longtime trainer, Tim Grover.

"You know what, I was playing in a lot of pain," Wade said. "Obviously, my
knee has been an issue. I sat down with the doctors a little bit during the
Indiana series and talked about the possibility of what's to come. But I
didn't want to think about it then. I said, 'Listen, let's just do what we
have to do to make sure that I can give my all.' And they did that. I thank
them for that."

He said he was sitting on his couch watching television on Friday when his
thoughts turned to his hopes of being able to play in London. At that moment,
he said an Olympic commercial appeared on his screen.

"Got a little emotional," Wade said. "I loved what we had and what we shared
as a unit. The possibility of not being able to do that, man, it's a little
different."

簡單翻譯:整個季後賽,Wade的左膝一直疼痛,他會立即作完整的檢查,如果需要做手術,
為了對熱火的忠誠和承諾(揪感心),他會馬上去做,不會去打奧運,這次他會記取教訓,
絕不會像上次術後未完痊癒就急於復出。
