APRIL 27 • ROTOWIRE
Off injury report for Saturday Wade (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Raptors.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE
Out for Sunday Wade (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Wizards.
Impact The Cavs will sit out their entire starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale, so guys like Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter could see massive upticks in usage. This is just a maintenance day for Wade, so he should get cleared when the playoffs begin.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Plays 21 minutes in return Wade produced eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 122-116 win over the Hawks.

Questionable for Wednesday Wade (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Impact The questionable tag is an upgrade on Wade's status and gives him a chance to end a seven-game absence with a right ankle sprain. His return would likely create a bit of a logjam on the wing for the likes of Keon Ellis, Sam Merrill and Max Strus, especially if Jaylon Tyson (toe) also suits up.
APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE
Another absence coming Wade (ankle) is out for Monday's game against Memphis.
Impact Wade is struggling to shake off this ankle injury and remains without a timetable to return. He can be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Sunday Wade (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Pacers.
Impact Wade continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff, which is not encouraging. For now, he should be considered doubtful for Monday's meeting in Memphis.
APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE
Out at least three games Wade (ankle) won't be available to play in the Cavaliers' three-game road trip, according to Law Murray of The Athletic.
Impact The Cavaliers have upcoming games against the Jazz, Lakers and Warriors. Unfortunately, Wade won't suit up for any of those contests, at least extending his absence to five games. It's unknown when the 29-year-old will be able to return from his ankle injury. However, while Wade is out of commission, Keon Ellis and Max Strus should see more minutes.
