Barkov bowled over by NBA star Wade

-

Even on a night off, Florida Panthers star Aleksander Barkov got hit. Barkov had courtside seats to watch the NBA’s Miami Heat Sunday and got a closer view of Dwyane Wade than he expected. Wade was trying to steal a pass when he wound up diving about four rows into the stands, clipping Barkov. The Panthers captain wasn’t hurt and didn’t mind. “D -Wade flying over you is really nice,” Barkov said. Wade tweeted an apology to Barkov Monday. “Maybe I’ll have the team send an ice pack,” Wade said. “I actually know him, I’m a fan of his and we’ve met before.” Barkov said he would like to see Wade at a Panthers game this season.
