Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. Wade will miss both halves of Cleveland's current back-to-back set after spraining his left ankle during Sunday's win over the Hornets. He'll have plenty of time to rest and recover before attempting to suit up versus the Raptors on Sunday. With so many players sidelined Wednesday, Ty Jerome, Craig Porter and Georges Niang are candidates for elevated usage against New Orleans.

Dean Wade Latest News
Out again Wednesday
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. Wade will miss both halves of Cleveland's current back-to-back set after spraining his left ankle during Sunday's win over the Hornets. He'll have plenty of time to rest and recover before attempting to suit up versus the Raptors on Sunday. With so many players sidelined Wednesday, Ty Jerome, Craig Porter and Georges Niang are candidates for elevated usage against New Orleans.
Won't play Tuesday
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics. Wade sprained his left ankle during Sunday's win over the Hornets and will be in street clothes for at least one game. Tuesday's matchup is the first half of a back-to-back set, so Wade can be considered questionable, at best, for Wednesday's contest. In his absence, Georges Niang is a candidate for increased minutes.
Won't return vs. Charlotte
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Hornets, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports. Wade sprained his left ankle when he landed on T.J. McConnell in the third quarter, and he will not return to Sunday's contest. Caris LeVert started in the second half due to Isaac Okoro (ankle) being sidelined, and with Donovan Mitchell out due to rest, Georges Niang and Craig Porter will see an uptick in minutes for the rest of Sunday's game.
Goes to locker room Sunday
Wade (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Hornets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Wade rolled his left ankle in the third quarter, and after being checked on by trainers during a timeout, the 27-year-old went back to the locker room. With Isaac Okoro (ankle) also in the locker room and Donovan Mitchell (rest) ruled out, the Cavs will look to Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and Craig Porter to step up in the second half of Sunday's game.
Coming off bench in return
Wade will come off the bench Friday against the Warriors, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports. Wade will come off the bench in his return from a two-game absence due to an illness. This means the Cavaliers will go with Isaac Okoro at small forward to accompany the regular starting unit of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
Good to go Friday
Wade (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Warriors, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports. Wade has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing Cleveland's last two contests with an illness. Wade should reclaim his start spot from Isaac Okoro against Golden State.
Present at shootaround
Wade (illness) is at shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Warriors, Danny Cunningham of LockedOnCavs reports. Wade is officially listed as probable Friday after missing Cleveland's previous two contests due to a non-COVID illness. However, the 28-year-old forward's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Golden State.
Nabs questionable tag
Wade (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Warriors. Wade is in danger of missing his third straight contest Friday while dealing with a non-COVID illness. If Wade is downgraded to out yet again, Isaac Okoro will likely draw another start.
Remains out Wednesday
Wade (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. Wade started in each of the Cavaliers' first seven games, averaging 6.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 23.9 minutes per game, but he's now in line to miss a second straight contest. Wade's next chance to play will come against the Warriors on Friday, and his absence should lead to more minutes for Isaac Okoro, who replaced Wade in the starting lineup Monday against the Bucks.
