“I now forgive you for messing up [Rajon] Rondo’s elbow,” Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said to Dwyane Wade, as he gifted the Miami Heat point guard a memento commemorating his 16-year NBA career.
Ahead of the Celtics-Heat game at TD Garden Monday night, Ainge presented Wade with a framed keepsake in honor of his accomplishments. Alongside an old photograph of the soon-to-be-retired star was a green piece of the 2008 parquet floor as well as a silver plaque listing several of his achievements, from three-time NBA champion to two-time Olympic medalist.
