BURBANK, Calif. — Zaire Wade, the son of Miami Heat legend Dwayne Wade, was arrested in California Sunday morning on suspicion of felony domestic violence, criminal threats and false imprisonment, according to authorities.
Burbank police said they were called to a home around 5:30 a.m. after someone dialed 911 reporting a woman screaming.
When they arrived, they found 24-year-old Wade and a woman with lacerations on her face and body, police said.
The woman was not taken to a hospital after paramedics checked on her at the scene.
A handgun was also removed from the home following the arrest. Police issued an emergency protective order for the woman.
Wade played high school basketball at Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California, where he received several scholarship offers — but he turned them down to go pro.
He played one year for the Salt Lake City Stars of the G League and spent a couple seasons overseas, playing in South Africa and Macau.
