  • Heat Sign Dwyane Wade To 1 Year $2.4 Million

    Dwyane Wade will return to Heat for 16th, one last NBA season

    MIAMI -- Retirement can wait at least one more year for Dwyane Wade.

    Wade is coming back to the Miami Heat, announcing Sunday that he's returning for a 16th and final NBA season. The 36-year-old said he spent basically the entirety of the past four months weighing his options, and that retirement was an extremely real possibility in his mind.

    Instead, he'll be back in Miami, as the Heat desperately hoped. He's expected to sign a $2.4 million, one-year deal later this week.

    Wade is Miami's franchise leader in points, assists, steals and games played. His status was an enormous question mark this summer, especially now with the team a week away from going to training camp. Miami has signed 19 players for camp, one shy of the maximum preseason allotment, and it was never a question why the Heat kept that final spot open.

    It was hardly a guarantee that Wade, a 22.5-point scorer for his career, would return.

    Wade returned to Miami in a trade last February, after spending the 2016-17 season with Chicago and the start of last season with Cleveland. He appeared in 26 games with Miami last season including playoffs, all off the bench, and averaged 12.9 points.
