[Saba Sports News] Recently, Zaire Wade, son of NBA legend Dwyane Wade, was arrested by police and temporarily released after posting a $50,000 bail. The incident took place at around 5:30 a.m. Burbank Police responded to a report of an altercation between Zaire Wade and a woman. Upon arriving at the scene, officers noticed visible injuries on the woman’s face and body. This detail alone escalated the severity of the entire case. Police subsequently filed three charges against Zaire, including felony domestic violence, criminal threats, and false imprisonment, and issued an emergency protective order against him. Now 24 years old, Zaire Wade stands 191 centimeters tall with a prototypical guard’s physique as Dwyane Wade’s eldest son. However, his athletic career has been far from smooth sailing. Back in 2021, he was selected 10th overall to join the Salt Lake City Stars, the G League affiliate of the Utah Jazz, yet his statistical output was underwhelming. He averaged merely 1.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Judging solely by these numbers, his prospects of reaching the NBA appear extremely slim.
The editor believes that this news came as a total shock. As a public figure, Zaire Wade had long been one of the less controversial celebrity kids in the NBA circle, and the media once even tipped him to make it to the NBA. However, reality has dealt him a heavy blow.
