With the Heat in the middle of a stretch that includes 12 of 16 games on the road, Dwyane Wade is reminded of one of the biggest factors that made his decision to return for a 16th NBA season so difficult.
As Wade’s oldest son, Zaire, is playing out his junior season as a guard at Plantation American Heritage, he hasn’t been in South Florida much lately to experience it.
“It was a big part of it, of course,” Wade said when asked how much his son’s high school basketball career was pulling him toward retirement this past offseason.
