Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade will miss the season opener against the Memphis Grizzlies due to an injury.
When the Cleveland Cavaliers tip-off their season in Memphis Wednesday night they will be doing so without Dean Wade. Wade has been ruled out with an ankle sprain.
#Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff said Dean Wade is officially out tonight. He was listed earlier as doubtful with an ankle sprain.

The rotations for the Cavs should not change too much considering how many other big men are on the roster. Dean Wade averaged 6.0 points and 3.4 rebounds while playing 19.2 minutes in 63 games for an Eastern Conference dweller Cavs team last season.
