Wade has issue with Sierra Canyon coach over son's playing time
There appears to be some beef between Dwyane Wade and his son Zaire's high school basketball coach.
Wade said Tuesday on "Inside the NBA" that he won't attend Sierra Canyon School's state championship game because Zaire won't be playing and he "don't want to do nothing to the coach."
Dwyane Wade was asked if he will be attending Sierra Canyon's state championship game.

Wade's remarks came three months after Sierra Canyon coach Andre Chevalier praised him and LeBron James, whose son Bronny also plays for the team, for watching "from a distance" and allowing him to make his own judgments.
Zaire, a 6-foot-3, 175-pound point guard, transferred to Sierra Canyon for his senior year. He has college offers from Nebraska, DePaul, Rhode Island, and Toledo, according to ESPN.
