Zaire was then arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence, criminal threats and false imprisonment after the parties spoke with authorities.
The 24-year-old was released shortly before noon that day after posting $50,000 bail. The outlet also said that an emergency protective order was implemented and the case was referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

A gun was also removed from the scene, the outlet added.
Zaire attended Sierra Canyon High School, where he was a basketball teammate of LeBron James’s son, Bronny, for one season (Zaire’s senior year was Bronny’s freshman season). His parents won two titles with the Miami Heat. He opted to turn professional rather than attend university and last played in South Africa in 2024.
Zaire is one of two children Dwyane had with his ex-wife, Siohvaughn Funches. Dwyane is now married to Gabrielle Union and they have two children together. Wade also had another child with a third woman.
