Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Starting Tuesday
Wade will start Tuesday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks.
Max Strus got the starting nod over Wade in Sunday's Game 7 win over Detroit in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, though the latter will return to the starting five Tuesday. Wade has averaged 4.7 points and 4.2 rebounds across 23.4 minutes per game over 14 postseason appearances (11 starts) in 2026.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Not starting Sunday
Wade won't start Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pistons.
Max Strus will get the starting nod in Sunday's do-or-die matchup, pushing Wade to the second unit. The 29-year-old forward has averaged 3.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per contest across six second-round appearances.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Non-factor in Game 6 loss
Wade had three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds across 22 minutes during Friday's 115-94 loss to Detroit in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Wade's three-pointer in the second quarter was the only shot he made in Friday's loss, and his minus-16 point differential was the third-worst mark on the Cavaliers behind Donovan Mitchell (minus-25) and Evan Mobley (minus-24). Wade averaged just 5.8 points per game during the regular season, but that number has dropped to 4.7 points per game in the playoffs, and he has tallied only six points over the Cavaliers' last four playoff games. The winner of Sunday's Game 7 will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals to face the Knicks.

Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Coming off bench for Game 1
Porter is not in the Cavaliers' starting lineup for Game 1 against the Raptors on Saturday.
Porter started the Cavaliers' regular-season finale against the Wizards this past Sunday, when he played 28 minutes and finished with seven points, seven rebounds, four assists and one block in a 130-117 win. He'll revert to a bench role for Game 1 while the Cavaliers roll with a starting five of Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and Dean Wade.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Off injury report for Saturday
Wade (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Raptors.
Wade was one of several key contributors who sat out Cleveland's regular-season finale, but he's set to return for the start of the playoffs. He averaged 5.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.0 minutes per tilt over his final 10 regular-season appearances (all starts).

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Out for Sunday
Wade (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Wizards.
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.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Plays 21 minutes in return
Wade (ankle) 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.
Wade took back his spot in the starting five Wednesday after he had missed the Cavaliers' previous seven games due to a sprained ankle. He took on a relatively standard minutes load in his return, so his playing time shouldn't be expected to dramatically increase over Cleveland's final two contests of the regular season. Through 58 appearances, Wade is averaging 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 22.4 minutes.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Returning versus Hawks
Wade (ankle) is available and starting in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Wade will suit up after missing the Cavaliers' last seven games because of an ankle injury. He will also start over Max Strus. In 36 starts this season, Wade has averaged 6.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 steals across 23.0 minutes.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Questionable for Wednesday
Wade (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
The questionable tag is an upgrade to Wade's status and gives him a chance to end a seven-game absence due to 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.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Out at least three games
Wade (ankle) won't be available to play in the Cavaliers' upcoming three-game road trip, according to Law Murray of The Athletic.
The Cavaliers have upcoming games against the Jazz, Lakers and Warriors, but Wade won't suit up for any of those contests and therefore will extend his current string of absences to five games, at minimum. It's currently uncertain when Wade will be able to return from his ankle injury, and while he's out of commission, Keon Ellis and Max Strus should see an increase in playing time.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Listed out for Friday
Wade (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Heat.
Wade will miss a second consecutive matchup while nursing a right ankle sprain. Sam Merrill started in his place Wednesday and should be considered the favorite to do so again Friday in Wade's place.

Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Ruled out for Wednesday
Wade won't play Wednesday versus the Heat due to a right ankle sprain, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Wade tweaked his ankle during his pregame routine, but the Cavs are calling it a precautionary absence, so there's a chance he could be available for Friday's rematch with Miami. Keon Ellis and Sam Merrill could see some extra minutes with Wade out Wednesday.
