Dwayne Wade, the leading scorer in the NBA had his signature Band-Aid banned prior to a game Friday night. Wade, had been wearing a Band Aid to protect seal a cut under his left eye. The problem came after the cut had healed and Wade started to wear decorated band aids. He had worn band aids with his nickname Flash and the American flag after the cut had healed.
The NBA wanted to stop self promotion so put out a mandate that players could wear a band aid for health reasons but not for self promotion. "A player can wear a Band-Aid for health care purposes, but it shouldn't have any name or identifications on it,"NBA spokesman Tim Frank said.
