For the past decade, maybe barring the four years with LeBron James, Dwayne Wade has been the backbone of the Miami Heat franchise, but fans might want to hesitate before expecting the same level of production from Wade this season.
Over his 12 year career, Wade has become the franchise leader in games played, steals, field goals, free throws and assists, but after several knee surgeries and years of wear and tear, Wade has struggled with consistency.
Wade’s reoccurring knee issues has forced the 11-time All Star to miss large chunks of games. Wade hasn’t played more than 69 games in a single season since 2011.
