Cavaliers starting forward Dean Wade departed the third quarter of Cleveland's 132-129 defeat to Philadelphia on Friday a right knee

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Cavs forward Dean Wade has a bone bruise in his right knee and is out at least 2 weeks, the team announced Tuesday. The injury happened in Friday’s loss at Philadelphia. Wade, a solid defender, is in his 6th NBA season, averaging 6 points, 5 rebounds and 22 minutes per game.

Even so, Wade will likely be sidelined through the All-Star break, and his absence along with Isaac Okoro's (shoulder) -- who has missed the last six games and is facing an uncertain return timeline -- should pave the way for Max Strus to continue starting at small forward.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a clear need to address ahead of the deadline, especially with recent injuries to the roster. The Wine and Gold must figure out a way to strengthen their perimeter defense with Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade sidelined for the foreseeable future.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WKBN) – The Cleveland Cavaliers announced that forward Dean Wade has been diagnosed with a right knee bone bruise following an MRI at Cleveland Clinic Sports Medicine. He suffered the injury in the third quarter of Cleveland’s Jan. 29 game in Philadelphia.

Tyson will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain ... playing time while the Cavaliers are without Wade and Okoro.

Cleveland Head Coach Kenny Atkinson praised Jaylon Tyson for how he played in his second career NBA start on Wednesday night against the Miami Heat.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are undermanned right now. With Caris LeVert (wrist), Isaac Okoro (shoulder), and Dean Wade (knee) all out with injuries, they need everybody to step up. That has opened up the door for more playing time for rookie Jaylon Tyson.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are officially in the midst of yet another winning streak. They lost three games in a row for the first time this season, but good teams find ways to bounce back. They proved that again by taking down the Miami Heat 126-106 on Wednesday night.
