The Memphis Grizzlies visit the Miami Heat Sunday (6 p.m. ET), and the matchup brings Grizzlies backup guard Mario Chalmers (averaging a career-high 11.1 ppg this season) back to Miami and the arena he used to call home. Expect love for Chalmers from fans. As for players? Here’s the South Florida Sun Sentinel reporting:

Chris Bosh plans to keep it simple.
“I’ll probably yell at him during the game for old-time’s sake,” he said.
Dwyane Wade also envisions a basic welcome.
“I’m taking him into the post,” he said. “He going to foul me.”
Both laughed, mostly because of the countless times that Mario Chalmers made them smile.
At a time when both teams are struggling to gain their footing, Sunday’s game between the Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies at AmericanAirlines Arena will be about more than the moment.
It will be about the moments Chalmers helped create for the Heat, especially during that run to four consecutive NBA Finals and two NBA championships.
