Dean Wade News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers

Good to go Sunday Wade (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Boston, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

Impact Wade missed the Cavaliers' last three games due to a right ankle sprain. He earned the probable tag for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday, and the seventh-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to return. Wade will likely start in his return due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (knee), with the former joining Evan Mobley in the frontcourt.

Probable for Sunday Wade (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against Boston.

Practices Friday Wade (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Wade has sat out the past three games for the Cavs, but with him getting in a full practice Friday, there's a chance he could get back out there for either Sunday's game versus Boston or Monday's matchup with the 76ers. If he is cleared to return, Nae'Qwan Tomlin and Larry Nance's minutes could dip.

Strong line in win Wade accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 109-94 win over the Knicks.

Impact This was a terrific line for Wade, but performances like these have been few and far between. His value is mostly limited to deeper formats, but he's trending up 7.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes per contest over his last four games.

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.

Impact 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.
