Cavaliers head coach JB Bickerstaff said Friday that Wade (knee) won't play in Cleveland's final two regular season games, and his availability for the playoffs is uncertain, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Wade will miss his 18th and 19th straight games due to a right knee sprain to close out the regular season. In his last two appearances before being shut down with the injury, Wade had started and played 30-plus minutes on both occasions, but the Cavaliers were without Evan Mobley at that time. With Mobley now healthy, Wade will likely be ticketed for a small backup role in the frontcourt if he's cleared to play at some point during the postseason.
