Despite the physical recovery, the mental part is one area that has Wade concerned. On his podcast, the future Hall of Famer elaborated more on the mental side. “We’re watching guys come back, and he’s young,” Wade said. “I mean Tatum is somewhere around 26, somewhere around there. So, physically, he’s going to come back, but it’s the mental part of this journey. “I mean, I’ve ended seasons injured, whether it’s a knee injury, shoulder injury, whatever the case may be. It’s the mental part of it, man, trying to get back. Are you going to get back to where you were? And you’ve got to push through those days, you’ve got to push through those hard days.” -via Clutch Points / May 19, 2025

Well, Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade didn’t exactly shut down any ongoing speculation. “It’s a business,” he said in a recent interview. Wade, of course, would not go out and say it is for sure rigged, “because I’m not a witness in it.” “But this is a business that we are a part of. And I think people forget that in the competition of sports and what we love, because we grow up playing sports, and it’s not a business when we grow up. But when you’re in the NBA, it’s a business. And the business has to do its best job to make sure that, you know, it’s taken care of,” he said. -via FOXnews.com / May 15, 2025
