  Wade (knee) has returned to on-court activities, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Wade underwent surgery to treat ongoing issues with the meniscus in his right knee at the end of March and was sidelined for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign. He made 51 appearances during the season and averaged 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.2 minutes per game. The Cavaliers have a $1.91 million team option on Wade for next season, so his health during the offseason will likely be an important factor in the team's decision.

• Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Dealing with torn meniscus

  03/21/2022 •

  Wade (knee) has been diagnosed with a partially torn right meniscus and will miss several weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Wade had served as a fill-in starter following Jarrett Allen's broken finger, but he now becomes the latest Cavaliers player to hit the shelf for an extended period. With the Cavs set to return to the postseason for the first time since 2018, Wade hasn't been ruled out for the year, but given that he could miss upward of a month, it's quite possible that he's played his final game of 2021-22. The Kansas State product is averaging 5.3 points and 1.0 threes per game in 19.2 minutes.
