In the midst of his 10-game suspension, Heat guard Dion Waiters traveled from the beaches of Miami to the frosty frontiers of western New York seeking a little advice.
Waiters returned to the Carrier Dome on Saturday night, taking in the Orange's 89-67 win over Seattle from behind the scorer's table. The Philadelphia native spent two seasons with Syracuse from 2010 to 2012 and returned to his collegiate home to confer with his former head coach, Jim Boeheim, in the midst of the most tumultuous stretch of his professional career.
Waiters's current 10-game suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team" stems in part from a November 7 incident on the Miami team plane where he experienced a panic attack brought on by his consumption of a THC-infused edible during a flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles.
