Dean Wade News, Rumors, Updates - Philadelphia 76ers

Won't return Friday vs. 76ers Wade was been ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against Philadelphia due to a right knee injury, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Impact Wade checked out at the 3:12 mark of the third quarter of Friday's game, and he will not return for the fourth quarter. He'll finish the night with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes. Georges Niang and Sam Merrill could see some more minutes in the fourth quarter due to Wade's absence.

Solid night as starter Wade put up eight points (3-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight boards, three assists, two steals and a block in 31 minutes of action during Wednesday's 109-108 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Wade has been pretty consistent in Evan Mobley's (calf) absence, scoring exactly eight points in the three contests since the latter went down and averaging 6.0 rebounds during that stretch. He delivered a nicely rounded performance Wednesday, contributing on the defensive side of the ball as well, but failed to score efficiently and overall didn't leave that big a mark on the game considering his expanded role. Mobley is designated as day-to-day, so Wade will retain some fantasy value in deeper formats until the former makes his return.

Starting after all Sunday Wade is in the Cavaliers' starting lineup against the Pacers on Sunday.

Impact Wade was initially set to come off the bench Sunday while ceding his spot in the starting lineup to Max Strus. However, head coach Kenny Atkinson appears to have decided to reverse course, and Wade will remain in the starting lineup.

Quiet in starting lineup Wade notched six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's 115-105 win over the Hornets.

Impact Despite starting, Wade is a low-usage player and rarely makes a splash on the stat sheet. Through 26 appearances this season, the forward holds averages of 6.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per game.

Logs first double-double of season Wade ended Monday's 113-95 victory over the Warriors with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes.

Impact Wade has been a regular fixture for most of the month, and his skills as a rebounder and defender should keep him in the starting five for the foreseeable future. He averaged 8.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks over seven starting appearances in December.

Impact Though he couldn't get a shot to fall in his return from a six-game absence due to an ankle sprain, Wade didn't seem to be too limited on the evening, as he fell just a couple minutes short of matching the 21.9 minutes per game he had been averaging for the season. Wade had started in his first seven appearances of the campaign, but he looks like he'll operate as a bench player now that he's healthy again with the Cavaliers having seemingly settled on Isaac Okoro as their starting small forward.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
