Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade will miss at least another week while he stays with his wife and their newborn baby.

Wade and his wife, actress Gabrielle Union-Wade, had the baby via a surrogate last week. The couple and their baby are in Los Angeles and Dwyane Wade will stay there for a week so he can make sure his wife is good and that the baby is healthy.

“With my daughter coming a couple weeks early, she’s a little tiny right now, so we’re making sure health-wise that she’s OK,” Wade told Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press. “And for me, once I leave and go back to the season, not really being able to be with me everywhere I go, this time right now, this bonding moment with my daughter is the most important thing in my life at this time.

“And then I’ll go from there, see how she’s doing and make a decision based on that.”

As we all know, this is Dwyane Wade’s last season in the NBA. What a way to kick the season off by having a baby girl. It’s just going to make this year even more special for Wade and his family.

In nine games off the bench this season, Dwyane Wade is averaging 14.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists while shooting 45.0 percent from the field, 41.7 percent from beyond the arc and 59.3 percent from the free-throw line. The Chicago native is playing roughly 25 minutes a game.
