Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he is going to be patient with guard Dwyane Wade during training camp as he recovers from knee surgery and there is no guarantee Wade will play in the team’s season opener, reports the Miami Herald.

Spoelstra said Wade would be limited in training camp. Wade had surgery on his knee July 9 causing him to miss the 2012 London Olympics in London where the United States won the gold medal.

Wade said in August that his knee was healing well and he expected to participate in basketball activities in six-to-eight weeks.

“He’s not 100 percent,” Spoelstra said. “So we’re going to be very vigilant on how we progress him.”

The Heat open training camp on Saturday and will open defense of their NBA championship October 30 at home against the Boston Celtics.

    The Miami Heat’s Big Three finally got their first NBA title together last night with a 121-106 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the team spared no expense in its celebration.

    According to unconfirmed reports on Twitter (via USA Today‘s Mike Foss), the Heat dropped at least $147,000 at Club LIV in the Fontainbleu hotel.

    LMFAO made an impromptu performance at the party, and LeBron joined with some rapping. (See the video above).

    The cover charge for non-NBA champions was reportedly $1,000.
