MIAMI (AP) -- Dwyane Wade's Olympic banner will be swaying from the ceiling of the Miami Heat's home arena soon. So, too, will one for Tim Hardaway and Alonzo Mourning.
The Heat will raise two banners at halftime of their Jan. 31 game against the Dallas Mavericks: one for Wade, who was part of the 2008 U.S. gold medal team in Beijing, and the other for Mourning and Hardaway, who helped the Americans win gold at the 2000 Sydney Games.
They will be displayed alongside the Heat's division, conference and NBA championship banners.
Wade's banner was unveiled during a ceremony shortly after he returned home from the Olympics in late August, but the Heat opted not to raise it to the rafters until such a time that one also could be presented to honor Hardaway and Mourning.
