Dwyane Wade to undergo therapy to ease his upcoming retirement

Dwyane Wade will retire from basketball after the playoffs

After an incredible 16-year career, Dwyane Wade is set to call it quits following the conclusion of the 18/19 season. Wade's life will change in a big way without the daily demands of playing in the NBA, and the veteran told ESPN that he will undergo therapy to ease his transition:

I will be in therapy. Seriously. I meant it, it is going to be a big change. I told my wife, I said, 'I need to do therapy, and we need to do a little bit. I was always against someone that don't know me telling me how to live my life or giving me instructions. But I need someone to talk to about it. Because it is a big change.

After performing well from the bench, the 37-year-old had been backed by some to play for an additional year, although Wade evidently looks as though he is sticking with his plans to retire.
