MIAMI – Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade and All-Star Bam Adebayo are teaming up once again, but this time it’s not on the court.

The duo hosted a special event at the Chapman Partnership on Thursday, unveiling a newly designed basketball court dedicated to helping the community.

Wade, who originally donated the court years ago, partnered with Adebayo and their respective foundations — Wade’s World Foundation and Adebayo’s BBB Foundation — to run a contest for a fresh court design.

On Thursday, the two Heat former and current stars officially unveiled the newly designed court, with many VIPs, Heat players, and local politicians in attendance.

“This is a passing of the torch,” said one attendee, noting Wade’s legacy of giving back to the Miami community and how Adebayo, the current face of the Heat, is continuing that tradition. Wade’s son, Zaire, was also present, adding a family touch to the ceremony.

The event is part of a weekend filled with celebrations for Wade.

On Sunday, the Kaseya Center will host the unveiling of a statue in his honor, and Monday night will be “Dwyane Wade Night” at the Miami Heat game against the Detroit Pistons.

But Thursday’s focus is on community impact, with Wade and Adebayo demonstrating their commitment to making a difference.

Earlier in the day, they helped feed the homeless, a key initiative of the Chapman Partnership, which provides services for those in need.

A sign was also unveiled naming a portion of Northeast Seventh Street, near the arena, “Dwyane Wade Boulevard.”
