Dwyane Wade Jokes About His Name Being Misspelt 'DeWayne' at Hometown Basketball Game with Daughter Kaavia

In the set of photos, the 5-year-old has her mouth open in shock at the spelling error

Dwyane Wade was in for a surprise at a recent basketball game with his family.

On Saturday, May 25, the former professional basketball payer, 42, attended a WNBA game between the Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun at Wintrust Arena in Chicago with his wife Gabrielle Union, 51, and their daughter Kaavia, 5.

Wade shared a selection of photos from the outing on his Instagram, where he poked fun at the misspelling of his name on the jumbotron.

"Hardly home but always repping #SkyTown #DeWayneWade," he captioned the post.

Throughout the slideshow, Wade – rocking a white "girl dad" cap – smiles with his family as a jumbotron incorrectly spells his name "DeWayne Wade" while listing him as part of the Chicago Sky Ownership Group, which he joined in 2023.

Kaavia, perched on her father’s lap, has her mouth open in shock.

The comment section lit up with fans shocked over the spelling error, leaving comments like, "Who’s DeWayne???" and "Welp somebody is off jumbotron graphic duties."

Kaavia is featured throughout Wade's Instagram carousel as he gives a glimpse at his family outing at the arena. In one shot, she holds a basketball while on the sidelines with her father, and in another she receives a sweet hug from player Angel Reese.

Last week, Wade was presented with the Elevate Prize Catalyst Award for his advocacy work for the transgender community. His older daughter, Zaya, 16, whom he shares with his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches, publicly came out as transgender in 2020 with the support of her father and family.

The basketball player praised Zaya for her advocacy, saying, "She didn't ask for this extra excitement in life. She just wanted to be a kid and do kid things and live her life and be selfish and worry about herself. That's what you're supposed to do at her age, worry about you. But she's thinking about a larger community, and so I'm damn proud of her as a father."
