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

Impact Wade will miss his second consecutive game due to a lingering knee injury. 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 Nov.16 against the Bucks.

NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench 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.

Impact 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.

Pops for 22 points in win 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.

Impact 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.

Starts again in win 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.

Impact Wade drew 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 ended up with more fouls than field-goal attempts. With so many scorers on this Cleveland team, Wade's usage ceiling is obviously limited anyway.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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 too long because of it.
