NBA notebook: Heat's Wade considers retirement
Dwyane Wade might already be in the middle of his final NBA season.
Wade, 36, told Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald recently that he is genuinely undecided about continuing his career for the first time since he entered the NBA in 2003.
"I don't know," Wade said, per Jackson. "I have told everybody around me that I am taking it after this season and go from there. ... I'm not really concerned with it, honestly. I'm cool with whatever I decide to do. It will be my decision."
When asked if he needs to assess whether he still has the desire to play, Wade responded, "Definitely."
--The Cleveland Cavaliers identified the fan who directed racial taunts at San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills on Sunday and banned him indefinitely.
The fan, whom the team did not publicly identify, is barred from events at Quicken Loans Arena. The team will review the ban after one year.
--After missing the last 42 games with a torn ligament in his left wrist, Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap could be back on the court Tuesday night.
The Nuggets upgraded Millsap, who required surgery in November to correct the issue, to questionable as they host the Los Angeles Clippers.
Millsap said he still doesn't have full range of motion in the wrist, on which he wore a heavy pad during Tuesday's shootaround, but he thinks he can help the team's defense, which ranks last in the league in points allowed per 100 possessions (116.1) during February.
