Dean Wade Stats

The Cavaliers have exercised the team option of forward Dean Wade for 2022-23. Wade, who will earn nearly $2 million, has averaged 5.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists throughout his time in Cleveland. He did end up succumbing to a season-ending meniscus tear in his right knee, but he is expected to maintain a stable role in the rotation upon his return. However, that won't make the 25-year-old relevant from a fantasy standpoint. Yet, considering the likelihood the Cavs will deal with injuries this season, he may get some work and even start from time to time, making him a viable streaming candidate when needed.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) is expected to miss up to four weeks. He has a partial tear in his meniscus. However, there is optimism he will return before the end of the regular season. The Cavs are also hoping to get Jarrett Allen (finger) back by then. In the meantime, Evan Mobley and Lauri Markkanen will handle things underneath the rim, with Kevin Love also expected to continue to benefit.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks the third game in a row that Wade has missed due to right knee soreness. His absence should keep Lamar Stevens in the starting lineup for right now. However, Stevens hasn't made much of an impact lately. That being said, Stevens can be ignored in most fantasy formats even with extended playing time.

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Dean Wade (knee) will miss his second straight game on Wednesday when the Cavs match up against the Philadelphia 76ers. Wade is dealing with right knee soreness. Lamar Stevens jumped into the starting five to replace Wade on Monday and he will likely be back there for Wednesday's game. However, he played just 13 minutes on Monday and didn't offer much for fantasy purposes. Wade has seen a lot of playing time over the past few months, but he hasn't done a ton with his minutes. He's been held to single-digits in scoring in eight of his last nine games.
