Dean Wade Injury News & Updates

Wade is in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Pacers, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

Wade is getting the start with Jarrett Allen (finger) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Donovan Mitchell, Jaylon Tyson, De'Andre Hunter and Evan Mobley. Across two starts this season, Wade has registered averages of 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 triples, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

Wade (knee) will play in Friday's game against Atlanta, Ethan Sands of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade hyperextended his right knee Sunday, and after missing one game, he's been given the green light Friday. He's played 20 or more minutes in eight consecutive contests, averaging 5.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists during that stretch.

Wade (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Wade remains day-to-day after missing Monday's game against the Raptors. The forward is averaging 5.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 22.4 minutes per contest this season.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade will miss his first game since Nov. 7 due to a hyperextended right knee. With both him and De'Andre Hunter (rest) sidelined, Nae'Qwan Tomlin could be in line for extended minutes at forward Monday. Wade's next chance to play will come Friday against the Hawks.

Wade (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Wade is battling a hyperextended knee in the aftermath of Sunday's win over the Clippers. If he ends up sitting out, Nae'Qwan Tomlin would be likely be needed to handle significant minutes for the banged-up Cavaliers.

Wade produced five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 120-105 victory over the Clippers.

This was a solid line for Wade, but his overall fantasy impact this season has left a lot to be desired. Over 17 appearances, Wade has averaged 5.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 22.4 minutes per contest.

Wade logged five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 118-106 win over Milwaukee.

Wade didn't have much of an impact in the scoring column but managed to piece together his best rebounding performance of the young campaign. He was also effective as a defender, recording at least one block and one steal in a game for just the fourth time this year. Despite a decent showing across the board Monday, Wade isn't currently worth rostering in the majority of leagues.

Wade will come off the bench for Thursday's game versus Toronto.

Evan Mobley is back from his rest day, so Wade will return to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Wade has posted averages of 5.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 triples per contest.

Wade will start Wednesday against the Heat.

Wade should see a decent amount of opportunity Wednesday with Darius Garland (toe), Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Evan Mobley (rest) all unavailable. If you need some points and triples, Wade makes sense as a streamer target.

Wade (eye) is available for Saturday's game against Chicago, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

An eye injury prevented Wade from playing Friday against the Wizards, but he has been given the green light to play in the second leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set. He's averaging a career-high 21.5 minutes per game this season in a reserve role, though he's shooting just 35.9 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from three-point range on 3.9 3PA/G.

Wade (eye) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Bulls.

After missing Friday's game against the Wizards, Wade has a chance to get back on the floor. If he's ruled out, Jaylon Tyson and Chris Livingston will likely see more time on the court.

Wade (eye) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Wade exited Wednesday's 132-121 win over the 76ers due to an eye injury and didn't return, and the injury will also keep him sidelined for this contest. Wade doesn't carry a lot of fantasy appeal with averages of 5.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in eight appearances (one start) this season. His next chance to play will come against the Bulls on Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Wade exited Wednesday's 132-121 win over the 76ers due to an eye injury and did not return.

Wade suffered the injury in his first minute of action, and he finished the game recording an assist and no other counting stats. His next chance to play will come Friday at Washington, which is the first leg of a back-to-back set.

Wade is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to a right eye injury, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Specifics regarding the injury are unknown at this point, but Wade may be unable to return Wednesday because of the issue. Larry Nance, Thomas Bryant and Luke Travers are the likeliest candidates to see an uptick in minutes while Wade is sidelined.

Wade won't start in Sunday's game against the Hawks.

The 28-year-old forward will retreat to the bench in favor of Larry Nance with Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined for a second consecutive contest. Over six regular-season outings (one start), Wade has averaged 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 33.3 percent from the field in 24.3 minutes per game.

Wade logged five points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks over 30 minutes during the Cavaliers' 112-101 loss to the Raptors on Friday.

Wade made his first start of the season Friday due to the absence of Donovan Mitchell (hamstring). Wade struggled with his shot, but he contributed meaningfully in other ways with season highs in steals and blocks. He would revert to his bench role Sunday against the Hawks if Mitchell is cleared to return.

Wade will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

Wade will be in the first five with Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) on the mend. Wade will be joined by Lonzo Ball, Jaylon Tyson, DeAndre Hunter and Evan Mobley.

Wade recorded four points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 23 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 victory over the Bucks.

With Sam Merrill and De'Andre Hunter soaking up the bulk of the forward minutes in Cleveland, Wade's involvement has been pretty low to open the season. Through three games, he's averaging 6.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per contest. His fantasy appeal is limited to deeper formats for now.

Wade won't start in Tuesday's preseason game against the Pistons.

With Evan Mobley (rest) returning to action, Wade will come off the bench in Cleveland's preseason finale. The 28-year-old forward is expected to provide frontcourt depth this season. He averaged 5.4 points and 4.2 rebounds across a career-high 21.2 minutes per game in 59 regular-season appearances (30 starts) during the 2024-25 campaign.

Wade will start Sunday's preseason game against the Celtics.

Wade will enter the starting lineup Sunday due to Cleveland seemingly electing to rest their usual starters. The starting unit is rounded out by Craig Porter, Tyrese Proctor, Jaylon Tyson and Larry Nance.

Wade won't play against the Pacers on Sunday due to rest purposes.

Wade isn't expected to play a significant role in the rotation during the playoffs, but he's still going to get some rest in the regular-season finale Sunday. The former Kansas State standout averaged 5.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 21.2 minutes per game in 59 appearances (30 starts) in the regular season.

Wade recorded eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 114-112 loss to the Pacers.

Wade didn't have his best performance Thursday, but from a category-based perspective, he at least recorded two tallies in four of the five major categories. Wade isn't expected to be a regular in the lineup when the Cavaliers are at full strength, so his upside will remain fairly low in most formats going forward.

Wade will be a starter for Thursday's game against the Pacers.

With the Cavaliers resting their star players Thursday, the team will turn to Wade in the first unit. The veteran forward has been in the starting lineup 28 times this season, averaging 7.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, shooting 42.5 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from deep.

Wade (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings, Nate Ulrich of USA Today reports.

As expected, Wade will shake off a probable tag and suit up Sunday after a two-game absence due to an illness. The 28-year-old forward has averaged 5.2 points and 2.4 rebounds across 20.4 minutes per contest in his last five outings.

Wade (illness) is trending toward playing in Sunday's game against the Kings, head coach Kenny Atkinson said, Nate Ulrich of USA Today reports.

Wade has missed the last two games for the Cavaliers due to illness. However, there's a chance he will return on Sunday. The Kansas State product is averaging 5.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game this season, shooting 41.2 percent from the floor and 35.2 percent from deep.

Wade (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Kings.

Wade (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Wade (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade popped up late on the injury report due to an illness, which appears severe enough from him to miss his first game since Feb. 20. Isaac Okoro, Javonte Green and Sam Merrill are all candidates to see an increase in playing time off the bench due to Wade's absence. Wade's next chance to play is Friday against San Antonio.

Wade is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to an illness.

Wade is a late addition to the injury report and is in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 20. If he's sidelined, more minutes would be available for Isaac Okoro and Javonte Green.

Wade will come off the bench in Friday's game against Detroit, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

Evan Mobley (rest) will return to game action Friday, pushing Wade to the bench. Over his last five outings (two starts), the 28-year-old forward has averaged 5.8 points and 3.0 rebounds across 20.4 minutes per game.

Wade will start in Thursday's game against the Spurs, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

The 28-year-old forward will receive the starting nod due to Evan Mobley (rest) being sidelined. Over his last five outings (one start), Wade has averaged 5.6 points and 3.0 rebounds across 18.6 minutes per contest.

Wade is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns.

The Cavaliers will have Darius Garland (rest) back in the starting lineup for this matchup, so Wade will return to his regular role in the second unit. He's averaging 3.4 points and 3.9 boards per game when coming off the bench this season, so he shouldn't carry a lot of upside in this matchup.

Wade finished Wednesday's 123-119 loss to the Kings with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes.

Wade started in place of the resting Darius Garland on Wednesday, matching the team high in three-pointers. The veteran forward has averaged 6.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes over his last 12 games as a starter, although he will likely revert back to the bench with Garland likely to return in Friday's game against the Suns.

Wade is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Darius Garland is getting Wednesday night off for rest purposes, creating an opportunity for Wade in the first unit. Over his last 11 games as a starter, the veteran forward has averaged 6.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks in 23.7 minutes.

Wade logged three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds and three steals in 22 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Magic.

Even with Evan Mobley (foot) sidelined, Wade's role didn't change. He was able to make a defensive impact by tying his season high with three steals, but Wade hasn't scored in double figures since Jan. 8.

Wade chipped in zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes during Friday's 118-117 win over the Hornets.

Wade was a non-factor, failing to score during his limited time on the court. Although he is able to see the floor on most nights, Wade's production typically leaves a lot to be desired. In seven games over the past two weeks, Wade is averaging just 3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per contest.

Wade (knee) recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes in Friday's 142-105 win over the Knicks.

Wade made his return after he had missed Cleveland's prior 11 games while recovering from a bone bruise in his right knee. Before getting hurt, Wade had started in 16 straight contests, but he'll likely have to settle for a reserve role moving forward with Max Strus having moved atop the depth chart at small forward. Playing off the bench could make it difficult for Wade to eclipse 20 minutes in most games, though he could have a chance to see more playing time Sunday against the Grizzlies if the finger sprain that forced Jarrett Allen out of Friday's game early causes him to miss a contest.

Wade (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Wade has missed the Cavaliers' last 11 games due to a bone bruise in his right knee, but the 28-year-old is set to make his return Friday. Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Friday that Wade will be eased back into the rotation, so expect his playing time to be below the 22.8 minutes per game he had prior to his injury. Wade is averaging 6.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals this season.

Wade (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Wade is expected to return from an 11-game absence Friday due to a bone bruise in his right knee. Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Thursday that the 28-year-old would play Friday, according to Danny Cunningham of the Locked On Cavs Podcast reports. However, it wouldn't come as a surprise if Wade operates under a minutes restriction during his return.

Head coach Kenny Atkinson said after Thursday's win over the Nets that Wade (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Knicks, Danny Cunningham of the Locked On Cavs Podcast reports.

Wade has missed 11 straight games while dealing with a bone bruise in his right knee, but he'll be available to mix back into Cleveland's rotation Friday. It's unclear whether or not Wade will have a minutes restriction against New York, but fantasy managers' expectations should be tempered right off the bat. The 28-year-old has started in 26 of his 35 appearances for the Cavaliers this season, averaging 6.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 22.8 minutes.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Wade will miss an 11th straight game for Cleveland as he continues to deal with a bone bruise on his right knee. The 28-year-old forward has played well this season for the Cavaliers when healthy, averaging career-high numbers in points (6.0), rebounds (5.1) and assists (1.6). Max Strus will likely continue to see more minutes due to Wade's absence.

Wade was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee following a recent scan and is facing a multi-week recovery timeline, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Fedor notes that Wade's injury is unrelated to his past knee problems, including the meniscus issue that sidelined him for the end of the 2023-24 regular season before he returned to action last May in the Eastern Conference Semifinal series loss to the Celtics. Even so, Wade will likely be sidelined through the All-Star break, and his absence along with Isaac Okoro's (shoulder) -- who has missed the last six games and is facing an uncertain return timeline -- should pave the way for Max Strus to continue starting at small forward. Along with Strus, bench players Caris LeVert (wrist), Ty Jerome, Georges Niang and Ty Jerome could continue to benefit from more playing time while the Cavaliers are without Wade and Okoro.

Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Monday that Wade, who has already been ruled out for Monday's game against Detroit, is without a timetable for return and can likely be considered "more than day-to-day" due to a right knee sprain, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.

Wade will miss his second consecutive outing Monday due to the knee injury, and Atkinson relayed that the injury is more serious than previously thought. The club will likely provide further specifics on his status before Wednesday's game against the Heat, though the 28-year-old forward can be considered doubtful at best for the club's upcoming back-to-back set against the Heat on Wednesday and the Hawks on Thursday. If Wade remains on the shelf for an extended period, Max Strus and Georges Niang are candidates for a bump in playing time.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Detroit.

Wade will miss his second straight outing due to a right knee sprain, and his next chance to play will come Wednesday against Miami. With the 28-year-old sidelined, Max Strus will likely continue to draw the start at small forward.

Wade (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Rockets.

Wade left Friday's game versus the 76ers early due to a right knee injury and will remain sidelined Saturday. With Evan Mobley (calf) questionable, Georges Niang could receive an increased role against Houston.

Wade was been ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against Philadelphia due to a right knee injury, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Wade checked out at the 3:12 mark of the third quarter of Friday's game, and he will not return for the fourth quarter. He'll finish the night with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes. Georges Niang and Sam Merrill could see some more minutes in the fourth quarter due to Wade's absence.

Wade put up eight points (3-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight boards, three assists, two steals and a block in 31 minutes of action during Wednesday's 109-108 loss to the Rockets.

Wade has been pretty consistent in Evan Mobley's (calf) absence, scoring exactly eight points in the three contests since the latter went down and averaging 6.0 rebounds during that stretch. He delivered a nicely rounded performance Wednesday, contributing on the defensive side of the ball as well, but failed to score efficiently and overall didn't leave that big a mark on the game considering his expanded role. Mobley is designated as day-to-day, so Wade will retain some fantasy value in deeper formats until the former makes his return.

Wade is in the Cavaliers' starting lineup against the Pacers on Sunday.

Wade was initially set to come off the bench Sunday while ceding his spot in the starting lineup to Max Strus. However, head coach Kenny Atkinson appears to have decided to reverse course, and Wade will remain in the starting lineup.

Wade is not in the Cavaliers' starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade has been in the starting lineup for 13 of the Cavaliers' last 15 games, and over that span he has averaged 7.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 24.2 minutes per contest. However, Wade will come off the bench Sunday and cede his spot in the starting five to Max Strus.

Wade notched six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 win over the Hornets.

Despite starting, Wade is a low-usage player and rarely makes a splash on the stat sheet. Through 26 appearances this season, the forward holds averages of 6.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per game.

Wade ended Monday's 113-95 victory over the Warriors with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes.

Wade has been a regular fixture for most of the month, and his skills as a rebounder and defender should keep him in the starting five for the foreseeable future. He averaged 8.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks over seven starting appearances in December.

Wade (knee) is available for Friday night's game against the Nuggets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade missed Monday's game against the Jazz due to right knee soreness, but he will return for Friday night's contest after going through the Cavaliers' shootaround in the afternoon. Wade started in five of six games prior to missing Monday's contest, and over that span he averaged 7.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.5 steals over 23.5 minutes per game.

Wade (knee) participated in shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Nuggets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

This is a new issue for Wade, but he's presumably day-to-day. Through eight December appearances, he's averaging 6.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 steals.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Wade (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Wizards but will operate on a minutes restriction and come off the bench, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade is in the starting lineup at small forward for Friday's preseason finale in Chicago.

Wade is projected to provide depth behind Evan Mobley at power forward this season, but he will get the opportunity to start alongside both Mobley and Jarrett Allen in this contest. It looks like the Cavaliers will take a look at a potential lineup with more size before the regular season commences.

Wade will come off the bench Wednesday versus Detroit.

Wade will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's Game 5 matchup with Boston, with Caris LeVert (knee) unavailable, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

Wade should get all the run he can handle with the Cavs' 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 with LeVert joining Donovan Mitchell (calf) on the sidelines for Game 5.

Wade finished Saturday's 106-93 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 17 minutes.

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.

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.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic.

Wade has not played since March 8, a 33-minute start where he accumulated zero points, four rebounds, two assists and a block. It's unclear when the 27-year-old will be able to return.

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Wade (knee) didn't practice Wednesday and is unlikely to play in Saturday's Game 1 against the Magic, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Wade carved out a substantial role when the Cavaliers dealt with multiple injuries, mainly to Evan Mobley, earlier in the season, but he hasn't played since March 8 due to a knee injury. In Wade's likely absence, Georges Niang and Marcus Morris are candidates for a few extra minutes off the bench.

Wade's knee soreness is now being diagnosed as a knee sprain and it's unclear if he will be able to return this season, , Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade has not taken the court since March 8, being sidelined for the last 12 contest. Fedor notes that Wade's knee "finally started making progress recently after the latest form of treatment," and that the coaching staff still regards him as day-to-day. His injury absence began just two games after booming for a career-high 23 points to fuel comeback win over Boston on March 5, promptly subtracting him after Cleveland's rotation his defensive versatility and offensive spacing has carved out a nightly role. Wade has dealt with a myriad of lower body injuries dating back to his days at Kansas State, and he has been limited to a total of just 149 games across the past three seasons. Wade is doing "everything possible" to return to action, but it's safe to say that he can be ruled out for Cleveland's upcoming back-to-back set versus Utah and Phoenix on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

Wade (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

Wade has not played since March 8, and the former Kansas State standout doesn't have a clear timetable for his return. His next chance to play will come against the Jazz on Tuesday, but even if he's available, he won't affect many fantasy lineups.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Minnesota.

Wade is set to spend his seventh straight game on the sidelines, and considering he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tip-off, we can assume he's not close. He belongs on the waiver wire in most formats.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Wade is slated to miss a fifth straight game. He was initially away from the team for personal reasons but is now dealing with a knee injury. Evan Mobley (ankle) and Max Strus (knee) also remain out, so Georges Niang and Marcus Morris should maintain solid roles in Cleveland's frontcourt.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers.

As expected, Wade has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a fourth straight game. With Max Strus (knee) and Evan Mobley (ankle) also out, the Cavaliers have signed Marcus Morris to a 10-day deal, and he should serve as a backup to Georges Niang on Monday.

Wade (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pacers.

Wade was on track to return Friday following a two-game absence due to personal reasons, but he's now dealing with an ankle injury and will likely miss a fourth consecutive contest.

After being downgraded from questionable to out Saturday with right knee soreness, Wade will miss his third straight contest. Georges Niang will continue to start in his absence. Wade's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Indiana.

Wade is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Rockets due to right knee soreness.

Wade (personal) rejoined the Heat and practiced Friday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade is out for Sunday's game against Brooklyn while tending to a personal matter.

Wade's defensive versatility and sporadic offensive contributions have been a huge stabilizing force in Cleveland's frontcourt -- and the importance of his presence has been magnified with Evan Mobley currently amid a multi-game absence due to an ankle sprain. Sam Merrill, Georges Niang and Caris LeVert will be the next men up in the rotation as Cleveland likely plays smaller across the lineup Sunday.

Wade will replace Sam Merrill in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

Wade put up a career-high 23 points his last time out, while Merrill was limited to just six points over 30 minutes as a starter, so Wade will now have an opportunity to shine. He's worth a dice roll in daily fantasy leagues, while Merrill is a much less attractive target in the reserve role.

Wade totaled 23 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals over 21 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 105-104 win over Boston.

The fifth-year forward was thrust into a bigger role in the Cavs frontcourt after Evan Mobley (ankle) left the game, and Wade came through with the best night of his NBA career. Not only were the 23 points a personal best, 20 of them came in the fourth quarter as Cleveland set a franchise record by erasing a 22-point deficit in the final frame. Mobley could be set for a lengthy absence, so while Wade isn't likely to repeat this performance any time soon, he figures to see a significant bump in his court time after averaging only 13.8 minutes over his prior 12 games.

Wade (illness) isn't listed on Cleveland's injury report for Thursday's game against the Magic.

Wade (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Wade was a late addition to Monday's injury report and will be unable to suit up due to his illness. His final chance to play before the All-Star break will be Wednesday against Chicago, while Evan Mobley and Georges Niang could see increased roles Monday.

Wade is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers due to an illness.

Wade was a late addition to Monday's injury report, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up. If he's unavailable, Evan Mobley and Georges Niang could see increased run.

Wade won't start Monday's game against the Clippers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade started 26 of his last 27 appearances, including 22 straight, but he'll return to a bench role Monday in favor of Evan Mobley, who's cleared to make his first appearance since Dec. 26. Mobley will be limited to around 20-24 minutes, so Wade should still see some minutes off the bench, though his fantasy value takes a hit.

Wade chipped in nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one block over 21 minutes during Friday's 112-100 win over the Bucks.

While Wade was held below 10 points for the 11th time over his last 13 appearances, he made the most of his limited shot volume during Friday's win. He's also had modest success on the boards recently, hauling in at least five rebounds in four of his last six outings.

Wade racked up 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 109-91 victory over the Bulls.

Wade did all of his damage exclusively from beyond the arc, but he also made his presence felt in other areas thanks to his three assists and three steals -- tying season-high marks in both categories. Wade has started in each of the Cavaliers' last 17 games, but that has not been enough to make him a reliable fantasy asset outside of very deep formats. He's only averaging 6.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Wade posted 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and two blocks across 26 minutes during Thursday's 123-104 loss to the Pelicans.

Wade scored in double figures for the third time in his last four appearances with a season-high 20 points Thursday, and he came within one rebound of his first double-double of the season. He's served as a starter in his last eight appearances, averaging 9.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per game.

Wade ended with 16 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 127-119 win over the Hawks.

Wade fired away confidently in a spot-up role for Cleveland, and this level of production was the vision of what Wade could provide as a rotational jumbo-shooting wing when Cleveland extended him in the 2022 offseason. Saturday marked his first double-digit scoring game across 19 appearances, but he's likely due for a 20-25 minute nightly role moving forward.

Wade notched nine points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 104-94 loss to Orlando.

Evan Mobley (knee) missed his second straight game for the Cavaliers, so Wade stepped into the starting lineup again and held his own as he scored a season-best nine points. Wade is typically a low-usage floor spacer for the Cavaliers, and in nine total starts this season, he's averaging 4.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 three-pointers.

Wade will start Friday's game against the Heat, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

With Evan Mobley (knee) sidelined, Wade will draw his eighth start of the season. Across his previous seven starts, Wade averaged 3.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.1 minutes per game.

Wade (ankle) finished with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and five rebounds across 14 minutes in Wednesday's 121-111 win over the Magic.

Wade had made four consecutive starts before missing the Cavaliers' previous six games due to a right ankle sprain, but he came off the bench Wednesday with all five members of Cleveland's ideal starting five (Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen) all healthy. Though he shot efficiently from the field and rebounded well during his time on the floor, Wade isn't likely to see his role grow substantially unless a starter misses time again.

Wade (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade has been upgraded from questionable and will be available for the first time following a six-game absence due to an ankle injury. Wade has drawn a handful of starts this season, but he'll operate off the bench with Cleveland close to full strength.

Wade (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Wade has missed six straight games due to a right ankle sprain, but he was able to practice Monday and has a chance to suit up Wednesday. With Caris LeVert (knee) sidelined, Wade could see 15-20 minutes off the bench if he's cleared to suit up.

Wade (ankle) was able to go through a full practice Monday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade missed the past six games for the Cavaliers, but he's set to return for Wednesday's game against the Magic. With Cleveland mostly healthy outside of Caris LeVert (knee, questionable), Wade will likely play a limited role off the bench.

Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup versus the Pistons.

Wade is slated to miss a sixth straight game due to a right ankle sprain. He was spotted getting shots up following Wednesday's shootaround, but it's unclear when he'll return to practice.

Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Cayleigh Griffin of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

As expected, Wade has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss his first game of the season. With Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (knee) also out, Craig Porter will make his first career start. Wade's next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus the Lakers.

Wade is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to a right ankle sprain.

Wade had been starting in Donovan Mitchell's (hamstring) absence, averaging 2.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.5 minutes per game. However, the former is expected to join the latter on the sideline Wednesday. Caris LeVert (knee) is questionable, while Ty Jerome (ankle) and Isaac Okoro (knee) have been ruled out, so Craig Porter and Sam Merrill are candidates for increased roles versus Miami.

Wade ended with six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 121-109 win over the Nuggets.

This was the fifth game of Wade's career with double digit rebounds, and he finished two boards shy of his career-high mark (12). Despite the strong showing, Wade is typically a low-usage offensive player and his fantasy value hinges on his ability to hit the three-point shot.

Wade will start Friday's game against the Pistons, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

With Darius Garland (neck) sidelined, Wade drew a spot start Wednesday. Garland will return to action Friday, but Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is now out, leaving a spot open for Wade. Across four starts this season, Wade has averaged just 3.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 28.3 minutes per game.

Wade will join the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garland is day-to-day with a neck issue. Wade is typically a low-usage offensive player, but he'll provide some additional floor spacing for the Cavaliers. Donovan Mitchell should be very busy on the offensive end Wednesday.

Wade won't start Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade drew the starting nod in each of the three games he's been available, filling in for Jarrett Allen (ankle) alongside Evan Mobley in the frontcourt. However, the Cavaliers will instead turn to Georges Niang at the four for Wednesday's contest.

Wade (illness) will join the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Thunder, according to Cavaliers sideline reporter Serena Winters.

Wade was previously carrying a questionable tag, but he made it through shootaround and the Cavaliers will throw him into the first unit with Darius Garland (hamstring) sitting out. Wade wasn't the most exciting fantasy option in 2022-23, averaging 4.7 points and 3.4 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game.

Wade (illness) participated in shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Thunder, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade missed the team's season opener with an illness and is considered questionable Friday. However, his participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against the Thunder.

Wade (illness) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Thunder.

Wade is in danger of missing his second straight game to start the season due to an illness. If he's downgraded to out, Isaac Okoro, Caris LeVert and Georges Niang will likely receive extended minutes.

Wade (illness) won't play in Wednesday's season opener against the Nets.

Wade has officially been downgraded from doubtful to out Wednesday due to an illness. His next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with the Thunder.

Wade (illness) missed practice Tuesday and did not fly with the team for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade not traveling with the team nearly seals his fate as being out for Wednesday's season opener. Jarrett Allen (ankle) could be out as well, opening the door for Georges Niang, Isaac Okoro and Caris LeVert to earn extra frontcourt minutes in smaller lineups.

Wade (illness) was not able to practice Monday, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

The Cavaliers will have another practice Tuesday before they head to Brooklyn for Opening Night on Wednesday. For now, Wade should be considered questionable to play. If he's able to give it a go, there could be more minutes available with Jarrett Allen (calf) still hobbled.

Wade finished with 13 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 20 minutes in Monday's 120-89 preseason win over Ra'anana.

Wade led all players in Monday's game in rebounds while finishing as one of six Cavaliers in double figures in scoring and two boards short of a double-double. Wade has reached the double-digit point total in two straight preseason outings while hauling in six or more rebounds in two of his three preseason contests thus far.

Wade will start Monday's exhibition versus Maccabi, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.

With Cleveland's usual starters unavailable, Wade will get the start at power forward. He'll be joined by Ty Jerome, Isaac Okoro, Caris LeVert and Damian Jones.

Wade won't start Saturday's game against the Knicks.

Wade saw a string of starts to close out the regular season with Isaac Okoro (knee) sidelined and other starters resting but will return to his usual bench role with the team at full health. Wade should be expected to see a minutes load somewhere in the teens with Cleveland likely tightening up their rotation.

Wade had three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 117-113 victory over Orlando.

Wade started for the second straight game, although delivered nothing in terms of tangible production. Despite playing at least 27 minutes in both starts, Wade has scored a grand total of just eight points, leaving him well off the fantasy radar.

Wade will start Sunday's game against Indiana, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

With Isaac Okoro (knee) sidelined again, the Cavs will be down one of their usual starters. Coming off of back-to-back defeats, coach JB Bickerstaff will insert Wade at one forward spot, sending Caris LeVert back to a bench role. Wade saw only 13 minutes of action in Friday night's loss to the Knicks, finishing with five points, three rebounds, a three-pointer and a block.

Wade (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Knicks.

Wade has been upgraded from probable to available Friday with a non-COVID illness. However, he is averaging 12.6 minutes across his last five appearances, making it unlikely to garner much fantasy interest.

Wade (illness) is probable for Friday's game versus the Knicks.

Wade is expected to suit up Friday after missing the previous two games with an illness. However, he is unlikely to affect Cleveland's rotation.

Wade (illness) fully practiced Thursday, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Dean's return to practice is a good sign of his availability for Friday's game versus the Knicks. He is averaging 0.0 points and 0.8 rebounds in 12.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

Wade (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

As expected, Wade has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a third straight game due to an illness. His prolonged absence hasn't had a significant impact on Cleveland's rotation.

Wade (illness) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

Wade was unavailable Sunday against the Rockets and will likely be forced to miss a second consecutive matchup. His status shouldn't significantly impact Cleveland's rotation.

Wade will not suit up for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to an illness.

Wade is a negligible part of the Cavs' rotation, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy hoops. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Hawks.

Wade provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal across 14 minutes during Saturday's 114-90 win over the Pistons.

Wade was a non-factor in the win despite remaining a somewhat consistent part of the rotation. He has played at least 14 minutes in three straight games, yet has managed to score a total of just three points. While we have seen his playing time spike at times throughout the season, his role is far too insignificant to warrant fantasy attention, outside of very deep formats.

Wade posted 10 points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 113-85 victory over the Pistons.

Wade led all bench players in scoring and rebounds while finishing one rebound shy of a double-double in Wednesday's victory. Wade set a season-high mark in rebounds while posting his second double-digit point total of the season.

Wade recorded five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes during Thursday's 128-113 victory over Memphis.

Wade played just 17 minutes in the win, coming on the heels of a four-game stretch in which he played at least 21 minutes in each game. Despite earning a regular spot in the rotation, Wade is not a player to look at, even in slightly deeper formats. He has scored double digits on only four occasions this season and averages only 1.1 combined steals and blocks.

Wade (shoulder) finished with zero points, one rebound and one block in 10 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 win over the Bucks.

Suiting up for the first time since Dec. 2 after missing more than a month and a half with a sprained shoulder, Wade was on a tight minutes restriction in his return to action. Prior to getting hurt, Wade had started in his last five appearances and averaged 27.8 minutes per contest, but he may struggle to regain that level of playing time now that he's healthy again. Isaac Okoro has stepped up his production of late and may have secured a role as the Cavaliers' starting small forward, while Cedi Osman has provided a nice scoring punch off the bench in both of the past two games to make a push for consistent minutes.

Wade (shoulder) will play 12-to-15 minutes in Saturday's game against the Bucks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade's initial minutes limit was set at 15-to-20 minutes but coach J.B. Bickerstaff shared that it would in fact be just 12-to-15 minutes. Wade has been sidelined since Dec. 2 with a shoulder sprain so it is no surprise the team will bring him along gradually. He should not be in any fantasy considerations considering the restrictions and the likelihood of rust given the lengthy absence.

Wade (shoulder) will rejoin the action Saturday versus the Bucks but will be limited to 15-20 minutes, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Wade has been sidelined since early December with a shoulder sprain, but it appears he's finally reached a point where his shoulder will allow him to retake the floor. Wade averaged 24.1 minutes in his 17 appearances (nine starts) prior to the injury, but he'll begin at a slightly lesser amount, given his extended absence. Wade's return figures to shave off minutes from some of the Cavs' frontcourt players.

Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Tuesday that Wade (shoulder) is progressing, but the forward hasn't yet been cleared to resume taking part in 5-on-5 work during practice, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Wade hasn't played since Dec. 2 due to a left shoulder sprain and recently suffered a minor setback in his recovery, but he appears to have resumed at least some on-court work. However, because Wade isn't yet taking part in full-contact, 5-on-5 scrimmaging, he appears likely to sit out the Cavaliers' remaining three games this week. His continued absence has opened up more playing time at forward for Isaac Okoro, who has settled into a starting role alongside guards Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell (groin).

Wade (shoulder) suffered a minor setback, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade hasn't played since early December as he continues to recover from a severe left shoulder sprain. The forward was making progress towards a return, but due to the setback, he'll miss more time than initially expected.

Wade (shoulder) will miss Thursday's meeting with the Trail Blazers, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Wade has not seen any action since early December as he continues to deal with a left shoulder sprain. His next opportunity to play will come Saturday against the Timberwolves.

Wade (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Jazz, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.

Wade hasn't played since Dec. 2 due to a left shoulder sprain. It's unclear when he'll return to game action, but his next chance to do so will come Thursday in Portland.

Wade (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Suns.

Wade hasn't played since Dec. 2 due to a left shoulder sprain. He was given a 3-to-4 week return timeline, so the Cavaliers should provide another update on Wade's recovery soon. However, until then, his availability will be handled game-by-game, so his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Utah.

Wade (shoulder) will not play in Friday's game against the Nuggets, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Wade will remain sidelined for Friday's contest with a left shoulder sprain. He was given a 3-to-4-week timetable on Dec. 4, so he should be approaching a return to the hardwood. Wade's next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Suns

Wade (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Suns.

Wade hasn't played since Dec. 2 due to a left shoulder sprain. He was expected to miss about 3-to-4 weeks, so the team should release another update in the coming days.

Wade is expected to miss 3-4 weeks due to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder.

Wade left Friday's game against the Magic due to the injury, and now there's a more precise timetable for his return. In his absence, more minutes should be available for the likes of Lamar Stevens, Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro and even Caris LeVert. Wade is averaging 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds across 24.1 minutes per game this season, with all those numbers being career-high marks for him.

Wade (shoulder) could be out multiple weeks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade exited Friday's game against the Magic due to a left shoulder injury. Wade has been an essential part of Cleveland's rotation this season, starting nine of his 17 appearances and averaging 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 24.1 minutes. In his extended absence, more minutes should be available for Lamar Stevens, Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro and Caris LeVert.

Wade has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Magic due to a left shoulder injury, Danny Cunningham of 850 ESPN Cleveland reports.

Wade drew the start Friday but was held scoreless across 10 minutes before exiting. The extent of the shoulder injury remains unclear, but he'll likely be, at best, considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Knicks.

Wade accumulated seven points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 117-102 loss to the Bucks.

Wade entered the starting lineup, but he failed to deliver a scoring punch -- although his peripheral production was strong. Wade has averaged 9.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in five games as a starter this season. He'll likely continue to be a chess piece in Cleveland's lineups, especially until Caris LeVert (ankle) returns.

Wade will slide into the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Bucks, Kelsey Russo of The Athletic reports.

Wade will enter the starting five Friday with Lamar Stevens (illness) out. In Wade's four starts this season he has averaged 9.5 points and 3.8 rebounds across 31.3 minutes per game in four starts this season.

Wade (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against Portland, but coach JB Bickerstaff said the forward will face a minutes limit, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

Wade missed a string of six games due to a sore knee, but he's been cleared from the injury report after initially being listed as probable. The Kansas State product figures to see relatively limited action off the bench as the Cavs ease him back into the mix.

Wade (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Danny Cunningham of 1500 ESPN Twin Cities reports.

After two weeks on the sidelines, Wade appears to be finally ready to rejoin the rotation. With Caris LeVert (ankle) out again Wednesday, Wade could have some additional minutes temporarily available.

Wade (knee) will not take the floor Monday versus the Hawks, Danny Cunningham of 1500 ESPN Twin Cities reports.

Wade will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to an infection in his right knee. Lamar Stevens and Cedi Osman will continue to receive extended minutes in his absence. Wade's next chance to play will come on Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Wade (knee) will not play Sunday against the Heat, Danny Cunningham of 1500 ESPN Twin Cities reports.

Wade's absence is to be expected considering he is currently dealing with an infection in his right knee. However, he has been put on antibiotics and should be approaching a return to action in the near future. With Kevin Love (thumb) likely to miss Sunday also, Cedi Osman and Lamar Stevens should be in line for extended run. Wade's next chance to play comes on Monday against the Hawks.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Wade continues to deal with a sore right knee and will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game Friday. Kevin Love and Cedi Osman should handle increased workloads against Charlotte.

Wade (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against Charlotte.

Wade has missed the last three games with a knee injury and will likely be unavailable once again Friday. Assuming that's the case, Kevin Love and Cedi Osman should continue to see increased run.

Wade (knee) will not partake in Wednesday's game versus the Bucks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade was considered doubtful leading up to the matchup, so this was the most likely outcome regarding his status for the tilt. Wade's next opportunity to take the floor surfaces Friday back home versus Charlotte.

Wade (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game at Milwaukee.

Wade is expected to miss a third straight game. With Jarrett Allen (ankle) also out, more frontcourt minutes should remain available for Kevin Love, Cedi Osman and Robin Lopez.

Wade (knee) was unable to participate in Tuesday's practice, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Wade has missed a pair of games due to his knee issue, and his absence from practice Tuesday likely has him leaning toward another Wednesday. The team's injury report should paint a clearer picture of his chances of dressing against the Bucks.

Wade (knee) will not suit up for Cleveland's contest against Minnesota.

Wade will miss his second consecutive game as his knee injury continues to linger. The 26-year-old is having the best year of his career, averaging 7.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per night. His next chance to play will be on Nov.16 against the Bucks.

Wade (knee) is questionable to play in Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Wade missed Friday's game versus the Warriors due to right knee soreness. The 26-year-old forward is averaging 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 22.8 minutes across 11 games this season. If Wade is unable to play Sunday, his next opportunity will be Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.

Wade (knee) will not take the floor against the Warriors on Friday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade was a late addition to the injury report Friday afternoon due to right knee soreness and will sit out the matchup with the Warriors. His absence could open up more minutes for Isaac Okoro and Kevin Love.

Wade is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness.

Wade is a late addition to the injury report due to right knee soreness. Through 11 games this season, Wade has averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22.8 minutes per game.

Wade will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Lakers, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

While both Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Darius Garland (knee) were sidelined for Friday's 112-88 win over the Pistons, Wade picked up his fourth start of the season and finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 23 minutes. Though he's heading back to the second unit Sunday with Mitchell and Garland making their returns to the lineup, Wade shouldn't see a dramatic reduction in playing time.

Wade will start Friday's game against the Pistons, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and Darius Garland (knee) shelved, Wade will rejoin the starting five. In his prior three starts, he averaged 12.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 34.0 minutes.

Wade will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Celtics due to the return of Darius Garland (eye), Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Garland returns after a five-game absence, so Wade shifts back into a bench role, where he'll likely remain for the rest of the season. In his six appearances, he's averaged 10.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 24.8 minutes. A reduction in workload shouldn't surprise fantasy managers, however.

Wade finished with 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 121-108 victory over New York.

Wade looked great Sunday, dropping easily his best performance of the season. He has now scored in double-digits in three of the past four games, providing some backend fantasy value. It appears he is going to stick in the starting lineup until Darius Garland is back from his eye injury, meaning he can at least be considered in standard formats.

Wade racked up four points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 39 minutes during Friday's 132-123 overtime victory over the Celtics.

Wade was given his second consecutive start in place of Isaac Okoro. The 25-year-old forward even closed the game, playing all five minutes of overtime, but other than his six rebounds it didn't amount to much. It was his lowest scoring output of the season, and he even ended up with more fouls than shot attempts. With so many scorers on this Cleveland team, Wade's usage ceiling is obviously limited anyway.

Wade will start Wednesday's matchup against the Magic, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade's insertion into the lineup will shift Isaac Okoro to a bench role, leaving Donovan Mitchell and Caris LeVert in the backcourt and Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen in the frontcourt. Since the 2020-21 campaign, Wade has made 47 starts for the Cavaliers, so it's a role he's certainly familiar with.

Wade (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for the opener versus the Raptors.

Wade was sidelined toward the end of the preseason with an ankle issue, but it appears it was a relatively minor one, and he'll be ready to roll in the opener. Wade's role early in the season is a bit murky following the team's offseason roster moves, but he's unlikely to be a major fantasy factor in most formats.

Wade (ankle) will not take part in Friday's regular-season finale versus the Magic, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade injured his ankle Monday and skipped Wednesday's contest as a result. While his injury was deemed minor, it will still be worth monitoring his availability ahead of the opener next Wednesday. He figures to supply the Cavs' frontcourt with bench minutes when healthy, though an upgraded roster could mean fewer for him overall.

Wade (ankle) will sit out again Wednesday versus the Hawks, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

Wade rolled his ankle during Monday's preseason tilt against Philadelphia and sat out practice Tuesday, so it's no surprise that he will get the evening off. That said, the issue is reportedly minor, so Wade shouldn't be off the court to long because of it.

Wade (ankle) was unable to partake in practice Tuesday, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

Wade suffered a minor ankle injury during Monday's preseason contest and will likely take all precautions to ensure his health for when the games begin to count. Two preseason games remain on the schedule Wednesday and Friday before the regular season arrives Oct. 19 versus the Raptors, though it's unclear if Wade will suit up for either.

Wade rolled his ankle during Monday's preseason game against the 76ers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade didn't return to the contest after suffering the injury, but coach J.B. Bickerstaff noted after the exhibition that Wade likely could have returned in a regular-season game. The forward will be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Wade will start Monday's preseason game against the 76ers, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

Wade will get the start in the absence of Kevin Love, who's sidelined due to a knee injury. The undrafted product has a similar skillset to Love, so his fit in the starting lineup should be fluid. Wade started 28 of his 51 appearances last year and posted 7.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 26.3 minutes during those games.

Wade scored 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) across 23 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. He also added five rebounds, an assist and a steal.

Wade took only three shots in the first half with his only make coming on a 26-foot three pointer following an assist from Donovan Mitchell. The Cavs power forward was more active in the third quarter, going 2-of-4 from the field with two threes while grabbing up four rebounds and making 2-of-2 free throws. Wade appears ready to carry on his role as a major three-point shooting threat in the Cavs offense this season.

Wade has agreed to a three-year, $18.5 million extension with the Cavaliers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Wade played in 51 games for the Cavaliers in 2021 and averaged 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.6 steals in 19.2 minutes. He has also proved to be a reliable three-point shooter as he has shot 36.6 percent and 35.9 percent from deep over the last two seasons. Wade is still somewhat buried in Cleveland's depth chart, but he can be expected to play around 20 minutes per game off the bench again this season.

Wade agreed to a three-year, $18.5 million extension with the Cavaliers on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Wade played 51 games for the Cavaliers in 2021 and averaged 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.6 steals in 19.2 minutes. He has also proved to be a reliable three-point shooter. He's shot 36.6 percent and 35.9 percent from deep over the last two seasons. Wade is still somewhat buried in Cleveland's depth chart, but he can be expected to play around 20 minutes per game off the bench again this season.

The Cavaliers exercised the fourth-year team option on Wade's rookie contract for the 2022-23 season, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade averaged 5.3 points and 2.9 rebounds per game across 51 appearances before his season came to an early end after suffering a torn meniscus. The Kansas State product has already resumed on-court activities, but it's unclear when he'll be able to play again.

Wade (knee) has returned to on-court activities, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade underwent surgery to treat ongoing issues with the meniscus in his right knee at the end of March and was sidelined for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign. He made 51 appearances during the season and averaged 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.2 minutes per game. The Cavaliers have a $1.91 million team option on Wade for next season, so his health during the offseason will likely be an important factor in the team's decision.

Wade underwent successful surgery Monday to treat ongoing issues with the meniscus in his right knee and will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign.

Wade made 51 appearances and averaged 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 19.2 minutes per game. Before his injury, the third-year forward had been operating as a fill-in starter for Jarrett Allen and was a key part of Cleveland's rotation. In his absence, Lamar Stevens, Cedi Osman and Kevin Love are all candidates for increased roles.

Wade (knee) has been diagnosed with a partially torn right meniscus and will miss several weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Wade had served as a fill-in starter following Jarrett Allen's broken finger, but he now becomes the latest Cavaliers player to hit the shelf for an extended period. With the Cavs set to return to the postseason for the first time since 2018, Wade hasn't been ruled out for the year, but give that he could miss upwards of a month, it's quite possible that he's played his final game of 2021-22. The Kansas State product is averaging 5.3 points and 1.0 threes per game in 19.2 minutes.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Lakers.

Wade is slated to miss a fifth straight game due and is reportedly dealing with a possible meniscus injury. Lamar Stevens has started each of the games that Wade has missed and will likely be in the starting unit again Monday.

Wade (knee) won't play in Saturday's contest against Detroit, Tim Larson of CBS Sports reports.

This news was expected, as Wade has missed each of Cleveland's last three contests and is reportedly dealing with a possible meniscus injury. Lamar Stevens has started each of the three games Wade has missed and will likely be in the starting unit again Saturday.

Wade (knee) will be re-evaluated Monday, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

Wade has missed the last three games with right knee soreness, and he should remain sidelined for the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday against the Pistons. The team is reportedly concerned about a potential meniscus injury, but a better diagnosis could be revealed once Wade is re-evaluated. Lamar Stevens should remain in the starting lineup while Wade remains out.

Wade (knee) will not play Friday against Denver.

Wade will miss a third straight game as he continues to battle soreness in his right knee. With a back-to-back on tap, Lamar Stevens could be looking at two more spot starts Friday and Saturday (vs. DET).

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the 76ers.

Wade is slated to miss his second consecutive game due to right knee soreness. Lamar Stevens figures to draw another start while Kevin Love and Cedi Osman garner increased roles off the bench.

Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Clippers, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

Wade has been operating as a starter since the loss of Jarrett Allen (finger), so his absence will be a big blow to the Cavaliers. Kevin Love will likely be interested in the starting lineup, while Cedi Osman and Lamar Stevens could see increased roles off the bench.

Wade is questionable for Monday's contest against the Clippers due to a sore right knee.

Wade started his third straight contest Saturday and totaled seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes, but he presumably picked up the knee injury as well. With Jarrett Allen (finger) already out and Lauri Markkanen (ankle) questionable as well, the Cavaliers' frontcourt depth may be tested Monday.

Wade will draw the start Tuesday against the Pacers in place of Jarrett Allen (finger), Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

Wade will draw the start at the four, while Evan Mobley slides over to center. Allen may be out for the rest of the regular season, so the undrafted rookie out of Kansas State could solidify himself as the starter moving forward with a solid performance. As a starter this season (25 games), Wade has averaged 7.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.3 minutes per contest.

Wade will come off the bench Thursday against the Pistons, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

With Lauri Markkanen returning to the starting five after an extended absence, Wade will come off the bench. As a reserve, he's averaged 2.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.8 minutes.

Wade ended Friday's 120-113 win over the Pacers with 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two steals across 21 minutes.

Wade was held scoreless in Wednesday's win over the Spurs, but he bounced back Friday and scored in double figures for the second time in the last three games. The 25-year-old has now served as a starter in seven of the last nine matchups, but his inconsistency on the scoreboard makes him a lackluster fantasy option.

Wade will start Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Wade came off the bench the past two games and will return to the lineup after posting eight points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one assist in 32 minutes Friday at Charlotte. Cedi Osman will move to the bench while Darius Garland (back) remains unavailable for Cleveland.

Wade will come off the bench Wednesday against the Rockets.

After starting the previous four games, Wade will return to the bench Wednesday with Brandon Goodwin gaining the start at point guard. The 25-year-old struggled in the previous contest going 0-for-5 from the field, however he had scored in double figures in each of the three contests prior to that. Wade averages 7.8 points in 27.7 minutes in his 20 starts this year compared to just 1.8 points in 8.3 minutes when he comes off the bench.

Wade had 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 loss to the Pistons.

With Lauri Markkanen (ankle) sidelined, Wade has drawn three consecutive starts and scored in double figures in each of those games. During that stretch, he has averaged 12.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 25.0 minutes per game. Markkanen is expected to be sidelined until at least mid-February, so Wade should continue to get plenty of opportunities if he keeps up his solid play.

Wade supplied 13 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and three steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 95-93 win over the Knicks.

Wade started and trailed only Darius Garland and Evan Mobley in minutes. Absences of Lauri Markkanen (ankle) and Jarrett Allen (illness) led to the heavy usage of Wade -- who had combined for six points over 51 minute across Cleveland's previous seven games. Wade is a reasonable source of steals with occasional scoring prowess, but lacks fantasy relevance overall.

Wade will start Monday's game against the Knicks, Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com reports.

With Lauri Markkanen (ankle) ruled out, Wade will move into the starting five for the first time since back on Dec. 28. Markkanen is expected to miss multiple games, so it's possible Wade could find himself in the lineup for the entirety of the Cavs' three-game Week 15 schedule.

Wade will come off the bench for Thursday's game against Washington, Kelsey Russo of The Athletic reports.

The Cavs will go with a new arrangement Thursday in the ongoing absence of Jarrett Allen (COVID-19 protocols), this time starting Evan Mobley at center with Kevin Love at power forward and Lauri Markkanen at the three.

Wade recorded six points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 111-101 loss to the Celtics.

Wade logged a minus-16 in the box score, and was uninvolved offensively even on a depleted Cavaliers roster. He was also posterized by Enes Freedom, making the night forgettable altogether. Fantasy managers can likely do better even during various outbreaks.

Wade provided 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 124-89 win over Houston.

Wade showed no lingering calf issues, and logged the second double-double of his career stating in place of Evan Mobley (hip). Wade is a positive net contributor on the season and sees sizable usage when Mobley sits, but it infrequently translates to fantasy relevance at this time.

Wade will start Wednesday's contest against the Rockets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

With Evan Mobley (hip) sidelined, Wade will join the starting five. In his prior 11 starts, he's averaged 6.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 29.0 minutes.

Wade (calf) will be available for Wednesday's contest against Chicago, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The forward has missed six consecutive games for Cleveland due to a calf injury, but will be back in uniform for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls. Wade remains a weak fantasy option in all formats as he is averaging just 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds across 22.4 minutes per game this season.

Wade (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Bulls.

Wade has missed six straight games due to a right calf strain, but he has a chance to return Wednesday. Through 16 appearances with the Cavaliers this season, Wade is averaging 4.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 22.4 minutes per game.

Wade (calf) has been ruled out Monday against the Bucks.

Wade continues to deal with a right calf strain that will force him to miss a sixth conseutive matchup. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against Chicago.

Wade (calf) won't play Sunday against the Jazz.

Wade will be sidelined for a fifth straight game due to a right calf strain. His next chance to suit up will be Monday against the Bucks.

Wade (calf) won't play in Friday's contest against the Wizards.

Wade will miss his fourth consecutive game due to a strained right calf. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Jazz.

Wade (calf) is doubtful Friday against the Wizards.

Wade is presumably going to miss a fourth straight game due to a strained right calf. His next chance to play is Sunday against the Jazz.

Wade (calf) is out Wednesday against the Heat.

A strained right calf will force Wade to sit out for a third straight game. His next chance to play arrives Friday against the Wizards.

Wade (calf) will not play Monday against the Mavs, Evan Dammarell of SB Nation reports.

As expected, Wade will miss a second straight game due to a strained right calf. Prior to the injury, he'd started every game since Nov. 3, but with Lauri Markkanen, Kevin Love and Evan Mobley all back healthy, Wade will likely find himself back in a reduced role once he's cleared to return to game action.

Wade is doubtful against the Mavericks on Monday because of a calf injury.

Wade has a strain concerning his right calf, which forced him to sit out against the Magic on Saturday. The forward's absence would give more playing time to fellow big men like Lauri Markkanen and Kevin Love.

Wade totaled 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), nine rebounds and five assists across 40 minutes during Thursday's 104-89 loss to Golden State.

Wade has been benefitting from a sizeable bump in playing time of late for the Cavs, logging 35 or more minutes in three straight contests due to injuries and illnesses (Jarrett Allen (illness), Evan Mobley (elbow) and Lauri Markkanen (COVID-19)). He's been able to produce at a moderate level as a result, finishing in double figures in points in his last two games. However, his minutes should take a dramatic hit when Allen and Mobley are able to return.

Wade will start for the Cavaliers in Wednesday's game against Washington, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Even with Isaac Okoro (hamstring) coming back to the lineup, Wade will be making his fourth straight start. The Kansas State product has yet to score double digits this season and has not played over 30 minutes. Even though he is in the starting lineup, Wade is a risky option for DFS players.

Wade chipped in seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in Wednesday's 107-104 win over the Trail Blazers.

The Cavaliers were extremely shorthanded Wednesday, with both Lauri Markkanen and Kevin Love (COVID-19 protocols), as well as Isaac Okoro (hamstring) unavailable. Wade drew the start and played 23 minutes, but his most interesting impact was racking up five fouls in that time. Battling an ankle injury throughout the early part of the season, Wade himself has an extensive injury history dating back to his time at Kansas State. The current status of Cleveland's roster will continue giving him the opportunity to showcase himself, but there is little fantasy relevance to be analyzed.

Wade will start Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

With Lauri Markkanen and Kevin Love both in health and safety protocols and Isaac Okoro (hamstring) also out, Wade will get the nod. Over the past two games, he's totaled seven points, 10 rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes.

Wade (ankle) is probable for Friday's contest against the Hornets.

Wade was doubtful for the opener and ended up not seeing the court. Even if he's cleared to play Friday, it would be surprising to see him garner meaningful minutes.

Wade (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's season opener against the Grizzlies.

Wade didn't practice Monday, so it's not surprising to see him doubtful for Wednesday's game. Even when available, he'll be in a small role.

Wade (ankle) didn't practice Monday, and his status for Wednesday's regular season opener is uncertain, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade was a solid contributor throughout the preseason for the Cavaliers, but he appears to have picked up an ankle injury, which may impact his status for the regular season. With Evan Mobley and Lauri Markkanen in town for the 2021-22 season, Wade's opportunities may be harder to come by then a year ago, so he will need every chance he can get to suit up.

Wade recorded 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two steals and one assist across 23 minutes during a 110-94 preseason win Friday at Indiana.

Wade showed what he could provide when given a chance to play. However, the Cavaliers recently drafted Evan Mobley and signed Lauri Markkanen. Their new entrants indicate that Wade may have fewer chances to play than he did an NBA season ago.

Wade posted 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and a steal across 35 minutes in Sunday's 123-109 loss to the Nets.

No matter how next season shakes down for the Cavaliers, they've finally realized Wade's value in his second year with the squad. He excelled in place of Kevin Love (calf) and has been a bright spot amidst a depth chart that has been riddled with injuries throughout the season.

Wade had 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and nine rebounds in Friday's loss to the Wizards.

Making his fifth consecutive start, Wade saw 35 minutes and nearly had a double-double with Kevin Love (rest) sidelined. For the most part, Wade isn't much of a fantasy contributor, but he's capable of occasionally popping for a standout performance. Earlier in the week against Indiana, Wade posted 19 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and three steals in 38 minutes.

Wade was held to one point (0-2 FG, 1-2 FT) in Wednesday's win over Boston, contributing three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes.

The 24-year-old went from scoring 19 points Monday to one point, missing both of his shot attempts. Wade was able to salvage his night by swiping a couple of passes along with a few rebounds and assists. The second-year forward's scoring has been inconsistent as of late, as he's posted 18, five, 16, nine, three, 19, and one point over his last seven games, respectively. He'll look to bounce back Friday on the road against the Wizards.

Wade scored 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT) to go along with 12 rebounds, three steals and two assists across 38 minutes in Monday's loss to the Pacers.

Wade has seen an increased role in the absence of a number of wing players for the Cavaliers and started his third consecutive game. This was one of his better performances of the season, as he managed to top 15 points for the seventh time. He also notched three steals for the second consecutive contest, though that shouldn't necessarily be counted on going forward as he had only 23 total steals for the campaign prior to this recent stretch.

Wade will start Monday's game against the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade is set to make his third start in a row with Cleveland sitting a bevy of players for Monday's game. He's struggled with his shot over the last two starts, going a combined 4-of-13 from the field for a total of 12 points.

Wade is starting Friday's game against the Mavericks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade will return to the starting lineup for the first time since April 14 with Kevin Love (knee) unavailable Friday. In his last three appearances, Wade has averaged 13.0 points and 3.3 rebounds in 30.0 minutes per game.

Wade had 16 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and five boards in 29 minutes during Wednesday's blowout loss to the Blazers.

Wade has been able to hang on to a larger role of late, as he's now played 29, 31, 30 and 26 minutes, respectively, over the Cavs' last four games. The Kansas State product can occasionally reward DFS players in search of a low-cost flyer -- he had 18 points on six three-pointers against Miami on Saturday -- but on the whole he's not much of an asset in season-long leagues.

Wade managed three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one assist and two blocks across 17 minutes during Thursday's 119-101 loss to Golden State.

Wade shifted back to the bench and was virtually a non-factor in the limited role. Wade had been coming off eight starts in a row and had averaged 10.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 2.3 triples and 1.1 steals per game in that stretch.

Wade recorded 21 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), six rebounds, three steals and two assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Pelicans.

The 24-year-old has now scored double-digit points in three straight games, a span in which he's averaged 15.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 three-pointers, 2.3 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 56.3 percent from the field. The second-year forward hasn't played less than 28 minutes over his past eight games and should continue starting and playing heavy minutes for 12th seeded Cavaliers. He'll look to make it four-straight double-digit point games Wednesday on the road against the Hornets.

Wade tallied 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks across 29 minutes Thursday in the Cavaliers' 129-102 win over the Thunder.

With Jarrett Allen (concussion) and Larry Nance (illness) both sidelined once again Thursday, Wade picked up his fifth straight start. He worked well alongside frontcourt partner Kevin Love, but Wade is likely to lose his spot in the starting five and will see a reduction in playing time once one of Allen or Nance is back in action. Wade is at least providing short-term value in deep leagues during his run on the top unit, averaging 8.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 three-pointers, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 34.0 minutes in those five games.

Wade tallied 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Thursday's loss to Philadelphia.

Though Kevin Love returned for Cleveland on Thursday, Wade remained in the starting lineup -- along with Love -- and performed well while logging a team-high 38 minutes. The second-year forward has now played 20-plus minutes in six straight contests and is averaging 10.2 points and 5.2 boards over that span. He looks to have earned a healthy amount of playing time regardless of Love's ever-fluctuating status.

Wade will start Thursday's game against Philadelphia, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Despite the return of Kevin Love (calf), Wade is sticking in the starting lineup for the second-consecutive game. In his last start, Wade tallied seven points, five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 34 minutes. He may not see quite that heavy of a workload Thursday considering that Love is back.

Wade is starting Monday's game against the Jazz, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Wade is set to make his first start since March 3. He's coming off an impressive performance Saturday against the Kings, finishing with 13 points, six boards, two assists and two steals ini 31 minutes off the bench.

Wade totaled 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 31 minutes in a loss to Sacramento on Saturday.

Wade paced the Cavs' bench in both minutes and scoring in the contest, finishing with double-digit points for the fourth time in his past five games. Over that span, the 24-year-old has averaged 10.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals. He may not be fantasy viable at this point, but Wade is enjoying the finest stretch of his young career.

Wade is averaging 6.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers, 1.0 assists and 0.8 blocks in 17.0 minutes per game over his six games since moving from the starting five to the bench.

Wade's move back to the second unit coincided with the returns of Larry Nance (finger) and Kevin Love (calf) from long-term injuries. While Nance has taken over as the starting power forward, Wade has been able to stick in the rotation thanks to Love's return lasting just two games before he experienced another setback. Cleveland likely isn't counting on Love to make it back quickly, so Wade should have some staying power on the second unit for at least a few more games.

Wade tallied 16 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 18 minutes in Sunday's 116-105 win over the Raptors.

Wade's point-per-minute production was excellent in the win, and the second-year pro bounced back with blistering numbers from beyond the arc after failing to make a three-pointer against the Spurs. The Kansas State product has been a consistent presence with the second unit this season.

Wade scored 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt) to go along with six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers.

Wade remained in the starting lineup even with Taurean Prince's return and topped 30 minutes for the first time in his career. He took advantage of the opportunity by drilling five threes for a career-best 17 points. However, Wade's role could be set to shrink after the All-Star break as it's possible Kevin Love (calf) will be healthy enough to play for only the third time on the season.

Wade posted six points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 win over the 76ers.

The second-year forward out of Kansas State set a career-high 12 rebounds in the upset victory over the 76ers. He's started three straight games while Taurean Prince's (personal) availability has been limited. In those starts, Wade has averaged 7.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 22.7 minutes. Aside from rebounding. Wade is primarily a stretch-four. He has taken more than half of his shots from three-point range and is shooting 37.5 percent from deep.

Wade ended with 11 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 112-96 victory over Houston.

Wade was in the starting lineup for the second straight game, yet managed just 11 points in 20 minutes. Despite starting, he has failed to make the most of his opportunity and it seems only a matter of time before he shifts back to the bench. The playing time alone does give him an element of value in deeper formats, although that could disappear if and when his role subsides.

Wade will make another start Wednesday against the Rockets, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

The Kansas State product made his first career start Tuesday night against Atlanta and finished with five points, two rebounds, two assists and two blocks in a season-high 21 minutes. Wade will get another opportunity Wednesday, but he's still not an overly attractive option in DFS contests.

Wade will start Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

With Taurean Prince (ankle) set to miss another game and Kevin Love (calf) and Larry Nance (finger) facing longer-term absences, the Cavs will pivot to Wade at one forward spot, while Cedi Osman presumably moves to the bench. Wade is only averaging 8.3 minutes per game in 23 appearances this season, but the Cavs are desperate for any sort of spark as they enter Tuesday on a 10-game losing streak.

Wade posted 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and a steal in 27 minutes off the bench during Friday's 119-83 preseason loss at the Knicks.

Wade was one of two Cavaliers that scored in double digits in this game -- Cedi Osman was the other with a team-high 19 points -- and the sophomore certainly made his presence felt in this one. He saw limited action as a rookie, but Wade might have a shot at a bench role this year. He averaged 14.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 blocks per contest in the G League last season playing for the Canton Charge.

The Cavaliers converted Wade's two-way contract into a multi-year deal on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The transaction is somewhat of a formality, but it will enable Wade to remain under contract with the team through the offseason and into the lead-up to the 2020-21 campaign. The former Kansas State standout saw limited action for the Cavs as a rookie, but he appeared in 30 G League games for the Canton Charge, averaging 14.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 blocks per contest.

Wade (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Wade was sidelined for the front end of the back-to-back set Saturday versus Denver, but given that the Cavaliers only lost that game by two points, there's a good chance the rookie wouldn't have seen the court anyway. He hasn't been a consistent rotation option for the Cavaliers at any point this season, so Wade's potential absence Sunday shouldn't impact how coach J.B. Bickerstaff elects to dole out the minutes in the frontcourt.

Wade is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Nuggets due to a sprained right ankle.

Wade saw a season-high 16 minutes during Wednesday's loss, but he picked up an injury in the process. More information on his condition may emerge following Saturday's morning shootaround.

Wade scored 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 0-0 FT) and added 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals and four blocks in Saturday's G League loss to Fort Wayne.

Wade continues to bounce between the G League and the NBA. Since playing two minutes and garnering no stats for the parent club on Jan. 27 and 28, he is just one rebound shy of three-straight double-doubles with the Charge.

Wade posted 18 points (7-14 Fg, 0-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in Saturday's win over the Go-Go.

Wade was last seen playing 14 minutes and scoring six points in the NBA against the Clippers on Jan. 14. He is up to 12.4 points and 6.9 rebounds across 18 G league games this season.
