The Cleveland Cavaliers are going to be without forward Dean Wade for an extended period of time with a partial meniscus tear. Wade could be out for 3-4 weeks, testing the Cavs depth even further.
Dean Wade is averaging 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1 assist per game in 19.2 minutes per game. Wade ranks 10th in minutes of active Cavs players at this moment. Various injuries to Cleveland’s big men have led to Wade being called on for a larger role and his absence will lead to others picking up the slack. When Wade does return it will give the Cavaliers a player who has turned into a valuable bench player.
