Dean Wade Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He will miss a third consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. Evan Mobley (calf) is missing as well from the frontcourt, giving more looks in the rotation to Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Thomas Bryant. While the two have done well in their roles, they don't see enough action to be considered as viable fantasy options. This is the final game before the All-Star break, and both Wade and Mobley could be back when play resumes on Feb. 19.

De'Andre Hunter (rest) will also have the evening off to rest. The Cavs frontcourt could turn to 24-year-old big man Nae'Qwan Tomlin to take on extra minutes.

Wade is dealing with a right eye contusion that he sustained in Wednesday's game against the Sixers, forcing him to be removed after just 38 seconds of action. He missed Friday night's game because of the injury as well. If he's unable to go then expect Larry Nance Jr. to get more run, although he's listed as questionable for tonight as well.

Wade sustained an eye injury just 38 seconds after entering the game in Wednesday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers. While Wade is ruled out for Friday's game, he won't have to wait long for his first opportunity to return, as Cleveland also has a matchup against the Chicago Bulls scheduled for Saturday.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade might play for a different team in 2025-26. The 28-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent next offseason and is not expected to re-sign with the Cavaliers. This could lead the team to trade Wade rather than lose him for free. According to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, "numerous contenders from each conference have expressed interest" in Wade. Although Wade has put up somewhat underwhelming numbers over his six-year NBA career, he is a reliable defender and a decent three-point shooter. The Kansas State product also has an affordable $6.6 million salary, which makes him an even more appealing trade target.
