Zaire Wade, son of Basketball Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade, has been arrested in Burbank, California on suspicion of domestic violence, according to NBC 4 Los Angeles.
Police responded to a home around 5:30 a.m. on Sunday after a neighbor called 9-1-1 upon hearing a woman screaming, the outlet reported. Officers arrived to find Zaire Wade and a woman with lacerations on her face and body.
Police spoke with both parties before arresting Wade on suspicion of felony domestic violence, criminal threats and false imprisonment, according to NBC 4 Los Angeles. Paramedics arrived at the scene, but the unnamed woman was not transported to the hospital, sources told the outlet. Authorities said a handgun was taken from the house.
Wade posted $50,000 bond and was released later that day, the report said. Police also issued an emergency protective order.
Zaire Wade's basketball career
Wade followed his father into professional basketball, though with a different level of success. A three-star high school prospect, he received scholarship offers from DePaul, Rhode Island, Nebraska and Toledo, but turned them all down to turn professional immediately.
The Salt Lake City Stars, a G-League affiliate of the Utah Jazz, selected him 10th overall in the 2021 G-League Draft, and he played 12 games in the 2021-22 season. He later moved overseas to play for the Cape Town Tigers of the Basketball Africa League.
