Dean Wade Latest News
Starting Wednesday
Wade will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 in Boston, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports. Wade should get all the run he can handle with the Cavaliers' backcourt depleted, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, Max Strus and Evan Mobley. Sam Merrill should also see an uptick in minutes due to Caris LeVert (knee) joining Donovan Mitchell (calf) and Jarrett Allen (ribs) on the sidelines for Game 5.
Plays 17 minutes in return
Wade (knee) finished Saturday's 106-93 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal round with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 17 minutes. Suiting up for the first time since March 8 after needing two months to heal up from a sprained knee, Wade captured a rotation spot and helped provide the Cavaliers with some much-needed depth in the frontcourt. Though he acquitted himself well during his time on the court, Wade is unlikely to see his role grow substantially as the series rolls along, especially once center Jarrett Allen (ribs) is back in action.
Good to go Saturday
Wade (knee) is available for Saturday's Game 3 against Boston, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports. Wade has been sidelined since March 8, but he made it through warmups without any setbacks and is officially good to go. Jarrett Allen (ribs) remains out, however. It will be interesting to see what type of role Wade plays after being sidelined so long.
Iffy for Game 3
Wade (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics. Wade hasn't played since March 8 due to a right knee sprain. If Wade is upgraded to available, it remains to be seen how he will be featured in Cleveland's playoff rotation.
Won't play Thursday
Wade (knee) won't suit up for Thursday's Game 2 matchup with Boston. Wade has been out of commission for two months now, and with no positive updates to speak of, it's safe to assume he's still not close.
Remains out
Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Celtics. Wade hasn't played since March 8 due to a right knee sprain. It's unclear if he'll get the green light at any point during the Eastern Conference Semifinals, but unless Cleveland provides an update, Wade can be considered day-to-day.
Missing first-round series
Wade (knee) is out indefinitely and won't play in the remainder of the Cavaliers' first-round playoff series against the Magic, the team announced Wednesday. Wade hasn't taken the floor since March 8 due to a right knee sprain and will be sidelined for the remainder of the series against Orlando. In the announcement, the Cavaliers said that a recent MRI revealed that Wade would need more time for recovery and is out indefinitely. Georges Niang and Isaac Okoro should continue to see plenty of action off the bench at the forward spots.
Ruled out for Game 3
Wade (knee) didn't practice Wednesday and will be unavailable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Magic, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports. Wade hasn't suited up since March 8 due to a right knee sprain, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. However, the team has been evaluating him on a game-by-game basis, and his next chance to suit up will be in Saturday's Game 4.
Won't play Game 2
Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 2 against Orlando. Wade's next opportunity to take the court comes with additional rest, as the series switches to Orlando for Game 3 on Thursday. He has not taken the court since March 8 due to a right knee sprain. That being said, Wade's size and defensive prowess would likely yield a small role off the bench if he's able to return to action in the postseason.
