Miami Heat fans won't have to wait very long to see Dwyane Wade back at the American Airlines Arena.

The Heat will host Wade and the Chicago Bulls for the first time on Nov. 10, according to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson. Since it's a Thursday, the game will likely be carried by TNT.

Jackson cautions that the league might still change their schedule but the Nov. 10 slot for Wade's reunion has been "in place for quite some time." Given the emotional atmosphere of his eventual return, having Wade return to South Beach would also make for a must-watch Christmas Day game.

The league is expected to release its regular-season schedule early next week.

Wade left Miami following a second-straight summer of tense free agency negotiations. He had played the first 13 years of his career in South Beach and delivered their only three titles in franchise history.
