There’s never a dull moment when it comes to the rivalry between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics.

Heat legend Dwyane Wade is enjoying life by commentating at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but even there, can’t avoid catching a stray. The father of Boston Celtics star Derrick White, Richard, took a blunt jab at the three-time NBA champion.

A post gathering over 200,000 views read, “Dwyane Wade, “I mean he (Derrick White) probably has what a 15, 20 inch vertical, somewhat between those numbers. Mine was like 35, 36 (inches). Little does Wade know that White actually recorded a higher vertical leap than him.”

This correction of Wade’s commentary caught the eye of White’s father, who replied, “Internet is undefeated. Data points over opinions.”

The underestimated vertical of the Celtics guard should come as no surprise, considering his tremendous ability to block shots at 6-foot-4. While Wade was clearly off with his estimate, the comment was likely not intended as disrespect.

This is not the first time he took a shot at the Heat, as he also grilled star Jimmy Butler after the Celtics’ Eastern Conference Finals victory. “Holding the next one was even better. Did I do it right Jimmy?”

The remark was in reference to Butler’s quote in 2023, refusing to lift the Eastern Conference Finals trophy.

Inter Miami CF will continue to play at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, through the 2025 Major League Soccer season, now targeting 2026 as the debut year for new venue Miami Freedom Park.

The club previously stated the new stadium would be ready in time for the 2025 campaign, but confirmed Tuesday in emails to fans regarding season-ticket membership renewal and waitlist that the upcoming year would be the “final season” in Fort Lauderdale.

“The 2025 Season is expected to be our FINAL season here at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale before moving to the new stadium in Miami,” the message said. “We Look forward to having you sign and cheering along as we continue our playoff push!

Inter Miami will provide season ticket holders who choose to renew the membership “priority access to the inaugural season at Miami Freedom Park.”

Some fans expressed displeasure over a second price increase to season tickets since the arrival of Argentine star Lionel Messi in the summer of 2023, and the delay of the new stadium.

“2025 was widely advertised as the year the team would move to Miami Freedom Park and has been used as a “benefit” of season tickets since the inaugural year – “first in line” for Miami Freedom Park tickets,” Morgan Guigon, Inter Miami season ticket holder since 2020 who is choosing not to renew his membership this year, told ESPN.

“I’m choosing not to renew this year after over a 150% increase in ticket prices in the past 2 years and since the arrival of Messi … it’s cheaper to buy tickets on the resale market match by match than it is to buy season tickets directly from the club.”

Added another fan on X: “Messi has missed more than half of Inter Miami’s matches this season. The value of tickets drops by over 85% in matches he misses. Inter Miami logic: let’s raise prices again for no reason whatsoever.”

Prices vary depending on the location of seating.

With 2026 as a target for moving to Miami Freedom Park, Messi may now not feature in the new stadium. His original contract with the MLS club expires at the end of 2025, and it remains unclear whether he will extend his time in South Florida.

Construction on the 25,000-seat Miami Freedom Park began in August 2023, with Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas saying at the time that they were targeting a 2025 opening.

“I can’t wait to welcome our fans to our state-of-the-art stadium and hear the chants as Messi and your Inter Miami players take the pitch for the first time in 2025,” he said in a team statement.

In an interview with reporters at the same time, Mas added: “We’re going to be fast tracking everything, targeting having the stadium ready at some point in the summer or early fall of 2025.”

After missing the playoffs last season, Miami currently tops the MLS Supporters’ Shied standings after 25 games.

The Miami Dolphins offensive line remains the most unsettled position on the entire roster, and there’s little happening in training camp to alleviate many of the concerns.

The most notable development at practice Tuesday was the high number of bad snaps or bad center-quarterback exchanges, which actually were worse than the problematic display a day earlier.

Then there’s the overall health of the group, with presumptive starting left guard Isaiah Wynn still on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list and left tackle Terron Armstead practicing for the first time Tuesday, although it didn’t involve any team work.

For a unit that has fans a bit nervous — OK, a lot nervous — this was not a great way to wrap up the first week of practice.

While Armstead missing a lot of practice time really isn’t a big deal because he’s been really good for the Dolphins with limited practice since he got here in 2022, Wynn’s absence may be is a bit more problematic.

Wynn hasn’t practiced at all since he sustained a quad injury in the Week 7 game against the Philadelphia Eagles last season after doing a respectable job to that point. This would be problematic for any player, let alone for one with Wynn’s lengthy injury history.

While Armstead, new center Aaron Brewer and right tackle Austin Jackson will be in starting lineup, there will be competition at the guard spots and there will come a time when Wynn no longer is a slam dunk to start on the left side.

Reading into head coach Mike McDaniel’s words from before practice Tuesday, it doesn’t sound as though Wynn’s return is imminent.

“He’s in the building every day,” McDaniel said. “He’s doing well and his process is diligent. He’s been steadfast, fixture within the building and the team and he’ll keep progressing. I’ll give you an update when it’s a little clearer.”

The competition involves Liam Eichenberg, Robert Jones, Lester Cotton and perhaps newcomer Jack Driscoll, but it may be some time before we have clear answers as to what the final starting five will look like.

“I really don’t think about the competitions, I really don’t,” McDaniel said. “I’m observing with a laser focus on how players are responding to good or bad plays and really it’s almost like I have a spreadsheet in my mind of how many opportunities are in front of them with today – there’s like, 25 opportunities for each guard and in that, I’ll assess that and then with a clear mind, watch how people tell me the story. I’m not going to forecast anything and get ahead of myself and diminish the importance of their daily development.

“What I do like to see is from a team perspective, I see guys making plays at the guard position and then I see guys being in tough situations that they can learn from because our defense is challenging every day. So we as a team, it’s not just watching players do things successfully, especially at the O-line position. You’re going to have your share of stresses and you’re going to have your share of things that maybe negatively cost the entire team on a play or two. How do you respond? We don’t have time for a passive mind-set, so who knows? It’s not just coachspeak. I live it. I’m way far away from truly assessing who’s a leader in the clubhouse, but I will say that the competition is real.”

In the meantime, it would be nice for the offensive line to pick up its play.

Beyond the consistent pressure on the quarterbacks over the past few days, the snapping and exchange issues have been troubling.

Brewer and Tua Tagovailoa have had three muffed exchanges over the past two days. Armstead explained there’s an adjustment period involved with Brewer because his snapping point might be different than what Tua was used to with former starting center Connor Williams.

But the high shotgun snaps — Driscoll and rookie free agent Ireland Brown — each cleared their quarterback’s head at different times need to get fixed.

The good news is we’re still very early in training camp, so there’s plenty of time for progress.

But until that happens and there’s more clarity on the offensive line, the group will continue to be a source for concern.
