Remember when Dwyane Wade was on a maintenance program because of knee issues? That story line from the 2013-14 season seems like so long ago.
Wade was in his early 30s then, when mystery surrounded his status from night to night and he went on to miss a total of 28 games.
Things are different now.
Entering Wednesday’s game against the Spurs, a 37-year-old Wade has missed just three games due to injury or illness in his final NBA season. He missed seven consecutive games in November for the birth of his daughter, Kaavia James Union Wade.
