CHICAGO — Chicago native and three-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade is the latest to join the Chicago Sky’s ownership group, adding to a growing list of celebrities and high-profile investors pursuing a stake in the league.
Wade previously showed interest in the Sky during a visit to the team’s Deerfield facilities in June, where he observed a practice and spoke to players. An alumni of Richards High School, Wade emphasized the importance of investing in his hometown while supporting the Sky.
“It’s an incredible feeling being on this side of history,” Wade wrote on Twitter. “To see growth, on the business side, for something that I’ve been passionate about my whole life is an amazing feeling. There are amazing things happening in the WNBA. It’s official! This is for the home team — literally.”
