Wade returns to game after spraining right wrist

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade sprained his right wrist in a collision Monday night against the Utah Jazz, but was out only a few minutes before returning.

Wade ran into Jazz rookie Sundiata Gaines while going for a loose ball late in the first quarter. Wade crashed to the court, landing hard on his right side.

He didn't get up for a few minutes before trainers helped him to the bench as he held his right wrist with 1:22 left in the first quarter. The Heat said Wade's wrist was sprained and his return was questionable, but he was back in the game with six minutes left in the second quarter.
