Gabrielle Union Shares Husband Dwyane Wade Is Cancer Free
has shared a positive update about her husband health after a difficult battle with cancer. The former NBA star underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, a diagnosis that he initially kept private. As speculation grew, Union addressed the situation, confirming his current condition.
So, let's delve into the details of what Union revealed about her spouse's current health.
The Bad Boys II actress has announced that her husband, Dwyane Wade, is officially cancer-free after undergoing surgery to remove a cyst tumor from his kidney.
The NBA Hall of Famer initially revealed his diagnosis in January on an episode of WY Network's The Why With Dwyane Wade podcast. He shared that surgeons removed 40% of his right kidney on December 18, 2023.
During a February 27 episode of The View, Gabrielle Union was asked about Wade's condition. She responded, 'Yes, he's had the surgery and he's cancer-free, but it was a challenge.' Union admitted that she was initially in shock after hearing the diagnosis, saying, 'You hear cancer [and] you're paralyzed because you think of the absolute worst-case scenario. I've had so many friends who are cancer survivors. I didn't go there; I went to 'he's gone.''
The actress also revealed that Wade kept the news private, choosing not to tell everyone, including some family members. While discussing his health battle on The WY Network podcast, he admitted that the experience left him feeling physically and emotionally vulnerable.
Dwyane Wade shared, 'It was the first time that my family, my dad, my kids, they saw me weak. That moment was probably the weakest point I've ever felt in my life.' He ultimately decided to go through with the surgery to prevent the cancer from spreading.
The couple share their 6-year-old daughter Kaavia James. Additionally, Wade has a son named Zaire and a daughter, Zaya, with his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches. He also has a son, Xavier, with Aja Metoyer.

Markus Anderson's first career goal lifts Union to 2-1 victory over Charlotte
CHESTER, Pa. -- Markus Anderson came off the bench in the 57th minute and scored his first career goal eight minutes into stoppage time to rally the Philadelphia Union to a 2-1 victory over Charlotte FC on Saturday night. Anderson subbed in for Jesús Bueno and played 33 minutes in his first appearance of the season after playing 92 minutes in three appearances last season. Cavan Sullivan — a 15-year-old midfielder — collected his first assist in his seventh appearance over two seasons and 19-year-old midfielder Francis Westfield notched his fourth in his first season. Neither team scored until Bueno found the net unassisted in the second minute of stoppage time to give the Union a halftime lead. It was Bueno's first goal this season after scoring the first three of his career last year. Wilfried Zaha used the second assists of the season from defender Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty and Liel Abada in the 78th minute to tie it 1-1 with his fourth goal in his first season in the league. Nineteen-year-old Andrew Rick finished with one save in his eighth start in goal this season for Philadelphia (11-3-4). David Bingham stopped seven shots in his second start for Charlotte (8-9-1). Philadelphia began the day with a four-point lead in the Eastern Conference and now leads the Supporters' Shield race after the Columbus Crew beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1. Both clubs are idle until June 25 when the Union travel to play the Chicago Fire and Charlotte hits the road to play Sporting Kansas City.

NBA rumors: Teams ‘preparing for' Oklahoma City Thunder to make big move in 2025 NBA Draft
The Oklahoma City Thunder are attempting to turn their core into a championship, while a majority of the league is focused on final preparation before the 2025 NBA Draft. While the NBA Finals is Oklahoma City's focus for now, teams do think the Thunder might have something up their sleeve on draft night. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, teams picking inside the lottery of the 2025 NBA Draft are 'preparing for' the Thunder of moving up into the lottery.

While no specific targets were named, the Houston Rockets (10th overall pick) are open to moving the selection and teams like the Brooklyn Nets (8th overall pick) Portland Trail Blazers (11th overall pick) could be targeted. One incentive for trading up for the Thunder could be the desire to land NBA-ready talent this offseason on rookie contracts. With Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren due to receive contract extensions, Oklahoma City needs to start consolidating its picks to find the best young talent on cheap talent that it can.

If the Thunder were to move up into the top 12 picks, it could put them in a position to land someone like Duke Blue Devils center Khaman Maluach or French point guard Nolan Traore.
