Wade will return from a seven-game absence and make his way into the Cavs’ starting unit. The veteran forward had struggled with his three-point shot in the four games prior to the ankle injury. However, he’ll return to his floor-spacing role, with a chance to find his rhythm before the playoffs begin. Cleveland is currently fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Wade is progressing in his recovery from a sprained right ankle, but there is still plenty of work to be done. According to Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson, the forward has not reached the point where he’s playing 3-on-3 or 4-on-4. The hope is that Wade is available in time for the playoffs. The Cavaliers have similar hopes for Jaylon Tyson (toe), but he is not as far along in his rehab process as Wade.

Wade and Tyson, who did not travel with the Cavaliers on their three-game road trip that concluded on Thursday, will remain out on Sunday. Due to the absences in the frontcourt, Larry Nance Jr. could move into the rotation on Sunday out of necessity.

Wade has missed Cleveland’s last two games with a sprained right ankle, while a left great toe bone bruise has sidelined Tyson for the last four. According to the Cavaliers, they’ll continue their respective rehabilitation processes in Cleveland while the team hits the road for a three-game trip that concludes on Thursday against the Warriors. Sam Merrill has served as the fifth starter in Wade’s absence, while Max Strus offers value despite coming off the bench.

Wade sprained his right ankle just before Wednesday’s loss to the Heat and did not play. Keon Ellis moved into the starting lineup, but that was with the Cavaliers also not having Max Strus. One of those two will likely be the fifth starter, with Strus offering a higher offensive ceiling.

Like Donovan Mitchell, Wade was available for both games of Cleveland’s back-to-back after missing time with an injury. However, unlike the star guard, Wade was limited to 20 minutes on Monday. That was all the time he needed to record his first double-double of the season. As long as Jarrett Allen (knee) is out, Wade will have a slightly higher fantasy ceiling, but he isn’t guaranteed to reach it consistently.

After a three-game absence with a sprained ankle, Wade is good to go for Sunday’s key matchup with the Celtics. He’ll likely slide into the space that was occupied by Jarrett Allen, who has been ruled out with a knee injury. This would also mean Evan Mobley is the starting center.

This will be a third straight absence for Wade, which will likely result in another start for Jaylon Tyson. Though he didn’t do much in their last game against the Nets, Tyson has enjoyed an excellent second season and will have streaming appeal with Donovan Mitchell (groin) still out as well.

Wade has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Friday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Evan Mobley is good to go after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Bucks, and his return in this spot means that Jaylon Tyson will remain in the starting lineup.

Friday’s game will be the fifth that Wade has missed due to a left knee contusion. With Sam Merrill (hand) also out, the Cavaliers will have to rely even more on Jaylon Tyson, who has already been productive enough to merit being rostered in some 12-team formats.

Wade, who returned from a two-game absence with a left knee contusion, exited Tuesday’s win over the Pacers before halftime and did not return. Jaylon Tyson replaced him in the lineup to begin the second half, and he should be the replacement on Thursday. Tyson, who’s considered probable with an illness, is worth rostering when he’s allowed to start.
