The Cavaliers, already dealing with recent injuries, will be without Dean Wade for at least the next two weeks. Wade sustained a right knee injury during the Cavs ' Jan. 24 game in Philadelphia and then missed the next two games. An MRI administered Monday revealed a right knee bone bruise, according to a release from the team.

After missing time due to a nagging knee injury, there has been an update on Cavs sharpshooting forward Dean Wade.

Last Friday, PF Dean Wade suffered a bone bruise in his right knee vs. the 76ers. Wade has been out since then and Max Strus has been plugged into the starting lineup. NBA insider Chris Fedor reported that Wade could miss multiple weeks with this knee injury. Not ideal for the Cavaliers.

The injury situation has been better for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season but they haven’t been without their frustrating physical problems. Now comes word of one of their most crucial players being hurt.

The Cavaliers face tough times with injuries to their rotation, but hopeful updates suggest a potential return for key players soon.

With the 28-year-old out of the lineup for an extended period, Max Strus seems poised to reclaim his starting small forward spot from last season, as he has started in each of Cleveland's last five contests. The Cavaliers also have Georges Niang, Sam Merrill, and Jaylon Tyson as additional wing depth during Wade's absence.
