Dwyane Wade makes his regular season debut for his hometown team (Getty)
After 12 seasons with the Miami Heat, guard Dwyane Wade made the decision to return home and sign with the Chicago Bulls. Wade is one of the many changes on the Bulls roster as they begin the 2016-17 season, with Rajon Rondo taking over at the point and Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol all moving on to other teams. Wade, Rondo and Jimmy Butler will lead the way for Fred Hoiberg’s team, which hosts the Boston Celtics in the first half of TNT’s Thursday night doubleheader.
In total there are four games on the schedule, including the Sacramento Kings hosting the San Antonio Spurs in their first regular season game at the new Golden 1 Center. That should make for a festive atmosphere in Sacramento, but the league schedule makers did the Kings no favors by making the Spurs their first opponent (on the second game of a back-to-back, no less). And in the second TNT game of the night the Clippers visit Portland in a rematch of last year’s first round playoff series that the Blazers won in six games.
