The previous injury was a contusion, not a sprain. Not sure why the inconsistency. Perhaps it’s the reporter’s error, since that wasn’t a direct quote.

Levine’s article at least has the earlier injury stated correctly. Levine also has a little more of a quote from Wade on the subject. I wouldn’t panic…it’s still wait and see time.
