Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Goes 4-for-4 in return
Wade (ankle) contributed 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and five rebounds in 16 minutes Thursday in the Cavaliers' 112-84 win over the Nets.
The Cavaliers made room for Wade and Evan Mobley (calf) in the starting five in their returns from three- and seven-game absences, respectively, sending Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill to the bench as a result. Wade came through with an efficient shooting performance, but because the Cavaliers had amassed a 35-point lead by the end of the third quarter, head coach Kenny Atkinson rested the 29-year-old forward as well as the team's other four starters for the final period. Wade is still averaging a modest 22.7 minutes per game on the season, so he's unlikely to be in line for extended playing time even in more competitive contests.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Left off injury report
Wade (ankle) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Nets.
Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Wednesday that Wade was on track to play, and Cleveland's injury report confirms that the forward will be available to open the second-half schedule. Wade has averaged a modest 5.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 23.4 minutes per game in his last nine appearances, and the expectation is that his return along with Evan Mobley's (calf) will result in Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill moving back to the bench.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Likely to play Thursday
Wade (ankle) is likely to play in Thursday's game against the Nets, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Wade missed Cleveland's last three contests prior to the All-Star break, but he's trending toward returning from a sprained left ankle. His presence would likely force Sam Merrill into a bench role, though Wade has scored in double figures just twice in his last nine appearances.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Won't go Wednesday
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Washington.
Wade will miss a third straight outing due to a left ankle sprain, and his next chance to play will come against Brooklyn on Feb. 19. With Evan Mobley (calf) and Wade both sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Sam Merrill and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are candidates for increased playing time.

Wade (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Wade (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against the Kings, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.
Wade was downgraded to doubtful Saturday afternoon, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. The Cavs will trot out a starting lineup of James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson and Jarrett Allen. Wade's next chance to play will come Monday against Denver.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Unlikely to face Sacramento
Wade (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Kings.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Turns in quiet showing
Wade produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 124-91 victory over the Clippers.
Wade continues to be held in check on the offensive end and has scored six or fewer points in three of his previous four appearances. It's also worth noting that he's seen a decrease in playing time during this stretch, averaging 21.0 minutes per game in comparison to the 27.5 minutes per game he averaged from Jan. 21 to Jan. 26. Opportunities could become even more difficult to come by for Wade with Jaylon Tyson playing well and James Harden (recently traded) expected to make his Cleveland debut Saturday.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Notches seven points
Wade finished with six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 114-98 victory over Orlando.
Although Wade continues to see sizable workloads for the Cavaliers, his fantasy appeal leaves a lot to be desired. Over his last five outings, he's averaging 5.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 25.3 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Limited output in return
Wade (knee) finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one turnover across 16 minutes Monday in the Cavaliers' 136-104 loss to the Thunder.
In his return from a five-game absence due to a left knee contusion, Wade took back a spot in the starting five but saw minimal involvement on the offensive end, with his 6.9 percent usage rate ranking last among Cavaliers rotation players. While Wade will likely continue to start for Cleveland and see his minutes pick up in future contests, his role isn't especially fantasy-friendly. Over his previous nine non-injury-shortened starts prior to Monday, Wade averaged 7.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.7 assists in 25.6 minutes.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: On track to return Monday
Wade (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Wade is trending toward returning Monday from a five-game absence due to a left knee contusion. His impending return could lead to Craig Porter or Jaylon Tyson moving from the starting lineup to the bench against Oklahoma City. Over his last 10 outings (all starts), Wade averaged 7.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.7 threes over 23.8 minutes per game.
