Dwyane Wade's Sudden Departure Left One Fan Holding Sign
Nicholas Houston was forced to watch D-Wadeless Cavs take on the Oklahoma Thunder at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK — To say that Nicholas Houston was sad to see Dwyane Wade leave Cleveland is something of an understatement. The Warrensburg, Missouri parks and recreation supervisor showed up at Tuesday's game wearing Wade's #9 Cavs jersey and expressing his heartfelt sorrow with a homemade sign.
"Bought my ticket in November," the sign read. "Drove 455 miles to see D-Wade play ... Heat ticket?"
No sooner had Houston's post gone up on social media than the big man himself heard of Houston's plight and swooped in as if there was a loose ball on the court.

"Sad but true @DwyaneWade," Houston fessed after witnessing Cleveland's 120 to 112 victory over the Thunder.
