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.
After the Cleveland Cavaliers were relatively healthy through the first half of the season, the Wine and Gold's injury report is stacking up. The latest injury came to Dean Wade, who banged knees with Tyrese Maxey during Cleveland's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.
The Cavaliers face tough times with injuries to their rotation, but hopeful updates suggest a potential return for key players soon.
