Bulls' Dwyane Wade (Tooth) Will Play Against Lakers

By Cody Westerlund--

CHICAGO (CBS) -- After being deemed questionable, Bulls guard Dwyane Wade said he will play Wednesday evening's game against the Lakers, a day after he had root work done on a tooth.

Wade called it an "emergency" tooth procedure after a cap busted on one of his teeth.

Wade has only missed one game this season, resting on the latter end of a back-to-back when Chicago won at Los Angeles on Nov. 20.

Wade is averaging 18.9 points on 44.7 percent shooting this season.

Bulls wing Doug McDermott will sit out Wednesday night, missing his seventh straight game with a concussion.
