Dean Wade Latest News
Retreating to bench
Wade isn't starting Monday's game against the Nets, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports. Wade will shift back to a bench role now that both Isaac Okoro (knee) and Evan Mobley (ankle) have returned to health. The Kansas State product is averaging 3.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his last seven appearances as a reserve.
Fares well as starter
Wade amassed 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 122-113 loss to Miami. Isaac Okoro has been sidelined by a knee issue and is considered day-to-day, but Wade has shown the coaching staff what he's capable of. In his last two games, he's produced 9.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers. He'll be on the streaming radar in deeper formats if Okoro continues to miss time.
Starting vs. Charlotte
Wade is starting Saturday's game against the Hornets, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports. Wade will step into the starting small forward slot after Isaac Okoro was downgraded to out with a bruised knee. Wade began the season as a starter, averaging 6.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals in 23.9 minutes (seven appearances).
Goes scoreless in return
Wade (ankle) tallied zero points (0-5 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes in Tuesday's 118-87 win over the Wizards. Though he couldn't get a shot to fall in his return from a six-game absence due to an ankle sprain, Wade didn't seem to be too limited on the evening, as he fell just a couple minutes short of matching the 21.9 minutes per game he had been averaging for the season. Wade had started in his first seven appearances of the campaign, but he looks like he'll operate as a bench player now that he's healthy again with the Cavaliers having seemingly settled on Isaac Okoro as their starting small forward.
Making return Tuesday
Wade (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Wizards but will operate on a minutes restriction, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Wade will return to action Tuesday after missing Cleveland's previous six contests due to a left ankle sprain. While the 28-year-forward is set to play, he's unlikely to surpass his season-long average of 21.9 minutes per contest.
Could return Tuesday vs. Wiz
Wade (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reported Sunday that Wade was expected to be sidelined for Tuesday's contest due to a left ankle sprain. However, Fedor relays that Wade was adamant on playing against the Celtics on Sunday, and he participated in 3-on-3 workouts during Monday's practice session. Wade's return would likely impact playing time for Caris LeVert and Georges Niang.
Won't suit up Tuesday
Wade (ankle), who has already been ruled out of Sunday's game against Boston, will not play in Tuesday's game against Washington, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports. Wade will miss the Cavaliers' next two games due to a left ankle sprain, extending his absence streak to seven outings. With the 28-year-old forward sidelined, Isaac Okoro should remain in the starting five while Georges Niang and Sam Merrill will likely continue to see increased minutes off the bench. Wade's next chance to play will come Thursday against the Nuggets.
Missing sixth straight game
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Boston. Wade will be sidelined for a sixth straight game due to a left ankle sprain, and his next chance to play will be against the Wizards on Tuesday. Isaac Okoro will remain in the Cavs' starting lineup in Wade's absence while Ty Jerome, Georges Niang and Sam Merrill will continue to see increased minutes off the bench.
Still out
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks. Wade will miss a fifth straight game due to a left ankle sprain. Isaac Okoro should continue to start in Wade's absence, while Sam Merrill, Ty Jerome and Georges Niang remain candidates for increased roles. Wade's next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus Boston.
