MIAMI (AP) — Lesson learned.
Dwyane Wade was the first Miami Heat player to line up for the playing of “O Canada” on Monday night.
The Heat guard apologized Monday to anyone who was offended by his actions before Saturday’s Toronto-Miami matchup, when he took a few extra warm-up shots at the beginning of the singing of “O Canada.” Video showed Wade continued his pregame routine for about 20 seconds before he took his spot in line with the rest of his teammates.
Wade issued the apology after Miami’s 94-87 victory that tied the Eastern Conference semifinals.
