Report: TNT unable to change start time to broadcast Wade's home finale
TNT will be unable to switch games next Tuesday and broadcast the Philadelphia 76ers-Miami Heat contest - Dwyane Wade's regular-season home finale - a source told the South Florida Sun Sentinel's Ira Winderman.
Miami's game against Philadelphia is currently scheduled for 7:30 p.m. local time, but TNT reportedly wanted to move it to 7 p.m., when a ceremony for Wade is currently planned. The network was unable to move the start time and is presently scheduled to broadcast the Celtics-Wizards game at 7 p.m. that night.
The possibility exists that the 76ers-Heat game will be Wade's final home game, period. Miami slipped out of the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot Wednesday and now trail the Orlando Magic by half a game with four contests to play.
Following Tuesday's home finale against the 76ers, the Heat will fly to New York to play their regular-season finale the following night against the Brooklyn Nets.
