Early life and high school career

Wade was born on February 4, 2002 in Chicago, Illinois, the son of retired NBA All-Star player Dwyane Wade.

For his freshman year of high school, Wade played basketball Mount Carmel High School in Chicago, Illinois. Also on the team, nicknamed the Caravan, was his cousin Dahveon Morris. Both played on the school's freshman team. For Wade's next two years of high school he played basketball at American Heritage School in Plantation, Florida. On May 29, 2019, it was announced that Wade would transfer to Sierra Canyon School, a private K–12 school in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, for his 2019–20 senior year in high school.[1]

After high school, he transferred to Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.[2] Making basketball his focus and availing of Brewster's nationally prominent program, Wade garnered considerably more attention from college basketball coaches. He received scholarship offers from DePaul, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Toledo, but opted to turn professional instead.[3]
