*Zaire Wade, the eldest son of NBA legend Dwyane Wade, was arrested in Burbank, California, on suspicion of felony domestic violence after police responded to an early morning 911 call reporting a woman screaming inside a home.
According to TMZ and NBC Los Angeles, the 24-year-old former professional basketball player was booked by the Burbank Police Department on suspicion of felony domestic violence, criminal threats, and false imprisonment. An emergency protective order was also issued.
Police Responded to Early Morning 911 Call
NBC Los Angeles reported that officers were dispatched to a residence around 5:30 a.m. after a caller reported hearing a woman screaming.
Law enforcement sources told the station that officers found Wade and a woman at the home. The woman allegedly had lacerations to her face and body. Paramedics responded to the scene, but she was not transported to a hospital.

Authorities also recovered a handgun from the residence following the arrest. Wade later posted a $50,000 bond and was released the same day.
Arrest Log Includes Multiple Allegations
The Burbank Police Department’s public arrest log lists Zaire Blessing Wade’s arrest date as June 21 (2026) and identifies the reported offenses as felony domestic violence, criminal threats, and false imprisonment with violence, fraud or deceit.
The incident summary also references attempted murder. However, attempted murder does not appear among the publicly listed booking charges in the same arrest entry.
The case is expected to be forwarded to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, which will determine whether formal criminal charges will be filed.
Basketball Career Kept Wade in the Spotlight
As the oldest son of Dwyane Wade, Zaire Wade has spent much of his life in the public eye.
He played high school basketball at Sierra Canyon School in California alongside Bronny James before pursuing a professional career rather than playing college basketball.
Wade later suited up for the Salt Lake City Stars in the NBA G League before signing with the Cape Town Tigers of the Basketball Africa League. ESPN previously reported that he averaged 4.6 points and 1.9 assists during his G League tenure before continuing his career overseas.
As of publication, Wade has not publicly commented on the arrest.
He has not been convicted of any crime, and the allegations remain under investigation pending any decision by prosecutors.
