Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters apologized Saturday for the airplane incident that led to a 10-game suspension for detrimental conduct to the team. Waiters reportedly had a panic attack on the team plane during a flight from Phoenix to Los Angeles on Nov. 7 after ingesting a THC-infused edible. “I would like to apologize to my teammates, coaches, basketball staff, the fans and the entire organization for the incident that happened on the team plane,” Waiters said in a statement issued through the Heat. Waiters, who turns 28 on Dec. 10, is in his fourth season with Miami and averaged 12.0 points in 44 games (28 starts) last season. The eighth-year pro has a 13.2 career average in 409 games (211 starts) with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami.
