76ers' Dean Wade: Does little in spot start
Wade finished Friday's 98-93 win over New York with two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 27 minutes.
Wade was moved into the 76ers' starting lineup Friday due to the absence of Jaylen Brown (knee), but the former barely showed up on the box score and didn't attempt a shot. Wade has taken only one shot over his last two games, and his lack of shooting gives him little fantasy value even in the deepest of leagues. He would likely revert to a bench role if Brown is cleared to play against the Hornets on Saturday.

76ers' Dean Wade: Will start Friday
Wade will start Friday's game against the Knicks, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
With Jaylen Brown (knee) sidelined, Wade will get the starting nod for the third time in Philadelphia's last four games. In two starts this season, he's averaged 7.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.5 minutes per game.

76ers' Dean Wade: Heading to bench
Wade will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Wade started the past two games with Joel Embiid and LeBron James alternating rest days on a back-to-back set, but with those two back in action Wednesday evening, Wade will return to a reserve role. Wade averaged 32.6 minutes as a starter, but he'll likely be working with minutes in the 20s as a member of the second unit.

76ers' Dean Wade: Logs heavy minutes in loss
Wade contributed seven points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 106-93 loss to Detroit.
Wade drew the start and logged substantial playing time with Philadelphia's frontcourt shorthanded, though he attempted just four shots. His defensive contributions helped offset the limited scoring, but his low offensive usage makes him difficult to trust outside deeper fantasy formats. Wade could continue seeing significant minutes while the Sixers deal with injuries up front.

Wade is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain.

Wade (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

76ers' Dean Wade: Ruled out for regular-season opener
Wade (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
The former Cavalier, who signed with the 76ers in the offseason following seven seasons in Cleveland, will have to wait at least one more game to make his debut with Philadelphia. Wade averaged 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers made on 36.2 percent shooting in 2025-26 across 59 regular-season appearances (38 starts). With him on the shelf for the 2026-27 Opening Night, expect Justin Edwards, Rayan Rupert and Jabari Walker to see their roles increased slightly.

76ers' Dean Wade: Iffy for Tuesday
Wade (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's season opener versus the Knicks, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com.
With back-to-back missed practices, Wade appears to be on the wrong side of the questionable tag. Justin Edwards and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would have a chance to enter the streaming mix in deep leagues if Wade is out.

76ers' Dean Wade: Misses another practice

76ers' Dean Wade: Doesn't practice Sunday
Wade (ankle) didn't participate in Sunday's practice, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Wade didn't return to Friday's preseason finale after injuring his ankle in the first half, and his status for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Knicks is up in the air. If the 29-year-old forward is forced to miss time, Justin Edwards and Jabari Walker could see increased burn.

76ers' Dean Wade: Injures ankle Friday
Wade suffered an ankle injury in the first half of Friday's 125-120 preseason loss to the Celtics and did not return, per Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com. He had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists and one steal over 13 minutes.
Head coach Nick Nurse wasn't overly concerned but chose to keep Wade off the floor for the remainder of the contest. The 29-year-old, who signed with the 76ers in the offseason, can be considered questionable ahead of the team's Opening Night meeting with the Knicks. If Wade can't suit up Tuesday, Justin Edwards, Jabari Walker and Dominick Barlow (back) would be candidates for increased minutes.

76ers' Dean Wade: Headed to bench
Wade will come off the bench in Friday's preseason finale against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Wade started for the resting LeBron James in Saturday's preseason loss to Boston, but James is active and starting for Friday's preseason finale. Wade could make sense as a three-point streamer this season on the days James receives a maintenance day, but it'll be tough for him to impact fantasy leagues while the 76ers are at full strength.

76ers' Dean Wade: Promoted to starting role
Wade is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Wade will get the start Saturday since the 76ers are resting players such as Jaylen Brown and LeBron James. Wade started in 38 of his 59 regular-season appearances with the Cavaliers in 2025-26, but he'll likely be a bench player when Philadelphia is healthy in 2026-27.
