Barkov 'all good' after Wade dove into him courtside during Heat game
Aleksander Barkov probably didn't expect to get up close and personal with Dwyane Wade at the game between the Miami Heat and the Utah Jazz on Sunday, but the Florida Panthers forward says he's no worse for wear.
Barkov was sitting near the baseline when Wade's leg inadvertently caught him in the head as the Heat star was chasing a ball out of bounds.

Wade checked in on Barkov on Monday, and the Panthers center replied Tuesday.
@Barkovsasha95 are we still good after that love tap to the head last night? Sorry bud. I had a flashback haha.
