Report: Heat, Wade contract talks stall

Dwyane Wade's talks with the Miami Heat over a contract extension with last year's beaten NBA finalists have reportedly stalled.

The point guard signed a two-year deal last summer, taking a pay cut to stay with the team and increase their salary cap flexibility.

According to ESPN, Wade is keen to agree a long-term deal and secure a pay rise, but has struggled with injuries in recent years, resulting in an impasse.

Wade, who led the team with an average of 21.5 points per game this season, must decide if he wants to pick up his option for the 2015-16 season by June 29.
