Dwyane Wade is slated to rejoin the Miami Heat after missing two weeks (seven games) following the birth of his daughter, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Kaavia James Union Wade was the reason of Wade's paternity leave and one that is bound to see a refreshed veteran, filled with the joys of fatherhood as he rejoins Erik Spoelstra's rotation.

Wade's wife, Gabrielle Union, clarified the meaning behind the name in an Instagram post, making reference to her family tree:

Wade's return comes at a timely spot, as the Heat are without starting point guard Goran Dragic for the next three games after having fluid drained from his right knee drained on Monday.

The franchise icon will make his return only a game after forward James Johnson made his season debut, as the Heat slowly get some bodies back on the floor to help with Dragic's recent injury woes.

Dwyane Wade could be thrust into a more immediate role in the backcourt with Dragic and Tyler Johnson hurting, but he could also be eased into the rotation given his two-week hiatus. Miami has struggled to a 6-10 start to the season and could really use Wade's presence in the lineup.
