The Utah Jazz are in the NBA Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Clippers. The team entered the playoffs as the top seed in the West (and overall), led by Donovan Mitchell. Now, the team even has Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade as their new owner – advising players and supporting the team.

While Wade is also a part of the ownership group, his numerous years in the NBA might also help young players. While it was impossible to tell what was said, Mitchell definitely agreed with an “I gotchu” later on. Fans loved the entire interaction, excited about what Wade has to offer. Jazz won Game 1 with a 112-109 score. 

Who owns Utah Jazz? 

In April, Wade became an owner of an NBA team. The 13-time NBA All-Star is a part of Ryan Smith and his wife Ashley as part of the ownership. “Dwyane is not only a basketball legend, he is also a great leader, businessman, and human being,” Smith said in a statement, having known Wade for years. 

"Partnering with Ryan and the Utah Jazz is the perfect fit as we share the same vision and values," Wade has said. "Not only is this group focused on building a championship franchise, they are also committed to using their platform to do good and actively create a more inclusive, equitable world. We share a lot of the same goals and are trying to go the same places in life".
