Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade is expected to miss several weeks with a right hamstring injury.

Wade, who already has missed nine games with hamstring injuries this season, suffered the new setback Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. He told reporters he would be out at least two to three weeks.

“This is more in the belly of the hamstring so this is a little tougher one,” Wade said.

In 35 games this season, Wade has averaged 21.4 points and 5.4 assists.

Miami (20-25) hosts the Dallas Mavericks on Friday.
