NBA action came to a halt on Wednesday.

The Milwaukee Bucks shocked the world by choosing to boycott their playoff game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. All the other teams that were supposed to play on Wednesday saw their contests rescheduled.

Wade, 38, commended the players for their bold and courageous moves.

At one point, it appeared that the remainder of the playoffs was in jeopardy. However, players ultimately decided that they wanted to maintain postseason play.

Heat big man Udonis Haslem reportedly played a huge role in swaying NBA stars to save the season. It appears he got a helping hand from Wade, who retired at the conclusion of the 2018-19 campaign.

The Heat have advanced to the second round of the playoffs after sweeping the Indiana Pacers.
