AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Ashley Williams Wales Jersey . -- Dwyane Wade was back on the court for the Miami Heat. Wade, who missed the preseason opener saying he was "erring on the side of caution," played 21 minutes and had eight points and four assists in a 112-107 victory over the Detroit Pistons. He didnt speak to reporters after the game but coach Erik Spoelstra said it wasnt fear of an injury that kept him out of the opener. "Hes been practicing the whole time," he said. "Hes been fine and the explosiveness will come as we go along." Chris Bosh scored 28 points for Miami (2-0). James Jones added 12 points and LeBron James and Michael Beasley had nine each for the reigning NBA champions. James had seven assists. Beasley, signed almost a month ago, made the most of the 9 minutes he played with two rebounds and two steals. "To play meaningful minutes, it was fun," he said. "I just wanted to play good defence and let whatever offence there was come to me." Will Bynum had 28 points and Andre Drummond added 21 points and 11 rebounds for Detroit (0-1), which committed 23 turnovers. Beasley scored all of his points late in the third quarter to help the Heat take an 89-79 lead to the final period. The Pistons got close in the final minute and Josh Harrellson almost tied the game with a long heave that rimmed out with .6 seconds left. Pistons guard Brandon Jennings was a late scratch from the starting lineup because of wisdom tooth discomfort and the team announced before tipoff that guard Rodney Stuckey will be out indefinitely after breaking the bone in the tip of his right thumb. The team said Stuckey, who will have surgery on the thumb Friday, smashed it Wednesday in the door jamb of his car. More than 17,000 turned out in suburban Detroit but some of the loudest cheers came when updates of the Detroit Tigers performance against Oakland in Game 5 of an American League Division Series were flashed on the videoboards.

Coach Gus Bradley listed Gabbert as questionable for Sundays game against Kansas City, adding that the former first-round draft pick probably will be a game-day decision. "Were encouraged with what we saw from Blaine Gabbert," Bradley said Friday. "I thought he took steps in the right direction, but it is too early. It may go all the way up until pregame, until we can get a chance to see him and how he does in that." Gabbert is recovering from a hairline fracture in his right thumb. He missed the final two preseason games because of the injury and has been dealing with pain and a weakened grip. But hes been able to throw with little or no noticeable issues this week, a positive sign he will be able to start against the Chiefs. "He not a hundred per cent and may have some soreness in his hand, but like I mentioned before, it cant get any worse, so he will just have to deal with that little bit of pain," Bradley said. Barring any setbacks, Gabbert expects to play. "I getting more and more comfortable throwing the ball and were just seeing how it feels," he said. "Its kind of a finicky deaal, so hopefully its A-OK tomorrow morning. Joe Ledley Wales Jersey. . These next 48 hours are big. Give it a little time to rest, and come game time, it should be feeling pretty good." If Gabbert cant start, the Jaguars will go with backup Chad Henne against the Chiefs. Gabbert and Henne have split repetitions in practice, although Gabbert seems to have gotten more later in the week. Gabbert completed 58 per cent of his passes for 1,662 yards, with nine touchdowns and six interceptions last season. He missed the final six games because of a forearm injury. This is a make-or-break season for the former Missouri standout. The Jaguars are giving him every opportunity to prove he can be a franchise quarterback. Gabbert had plenty of excuses his first two seasons, but has running back Maurice Jones-Drew healthy, an upgraded offence line and more experience at receiver. Gabbert wont have receiver Justin Blackmon, who is suspended the first four games of the season for violating the leagues substance-abuse policy, or tight end Marcedes Lewis, who was ruled out because of a calf injury. For Gabbert, though, the biggest thing is being patient with his own injury. "Its just one of those deals," he said. "I dont know. I really cant tell my bone to grow any faster than it is right now, so well see how it is tomorrow."
