The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without forward Dean Wade for three to four weeks due to a sprained shoulder. He was injured in the first half of the team’s 107-96 win over the Orlando Magic on Friday night. Cleveland has had a handful of injuries this season and it has impacted their ability on the court to varying degrees this season. According to the team after imaging his shoulder, Wade was revealed to have a sprained AC joint. Dating back to his college career with the Kansas State Wildcats, Wade has had a history of injuries, but he recovers well from them.

This season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Dean Wade is averaging 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and one assist per game for the team. He pairs those numbers with a field goal percentage of 45.2 percent and a three-point percentage of 41.1 percent. The team is somewhat thin on forwards that can play on the wing and Wade fills that role well for the team. He has been with the team his entire four-year career and has shown improvement as a depth piece for the team. We here at Def Pen Sports wish Wade a quick recovery and a return to the court in early 2023.
