Wade became a part-owner of the Jazz on April 16.

He’s attended Utah’s home games during the first round against Memphis.

“Dwyane is not only a basketball legend, he is also a great leader, businessman, and human being,” Jazz majority owner Ryan Smith said of Wade when he first joined the Jazz. “As we continue to build on the incredible legacy of the Utah Jazz franchise, we are excited to add Dwyane’s experience and expertise to the equation. Utah is an amazing place and I couldn’t be more thrilled about the future of the franchise and the future of this state. Dwyane’s influence will be important to both.”
