Wade (ankle) won't be available to play in the Cavaliers' upcoming three-game road trip, according to Law Murray of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

The Cavaliers have upcoming games against the Jazz, Lakers and Warriors, but Wade won't suit up for any of those contests and therefore will extend his current string of absences to five games, at minimum. It's currently uncertain when Wade will be able to return from his ankle injury, and while he's out of commission, Keon Ellis and Max Strus should see an increase in playing time.

Wade (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Wade will miss a second consecutive matchup while nursing a right ankle sprain. Sam Merrill started in his place Wednesday and should be considered the favorite to do so again Friday in Wade's place.

Wade won't play Wednesday versus the Heat due to a right ankle sprain, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade tweaked his ankle during his pregame routine, but the Cavs are calling it a precautionary absence, so there's a chance he could be available for Friday's rematch with Miami. Keon Ellis and Sam Merrill could see some extra minutes with Wade out Wednesday.

Wade finished Thursday's 115-110 victory over Chicago with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the absence of Donovan Mitchell (eye), Wade wasn't able to take advantage of his opportunity with a microscopic usage rate. He remains a deep-league fantasy asset at best with averages of 6.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 21.2 minutes over his last seven games.

Wade posted 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt) and five rebounds across 26 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 loss to Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Wade remains a key part of Cleveland's rotation, but his fantasy upside is quite limited. Over his last five appearances, he's averaging 20.9 minutes per contest with 7.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists on 51.9 percent shooting from the field.

Wade supplied 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Monday's 115-101 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Wade recorded his first double-double of the season, a welcome sight for anyone holding him in deeper formats. Despite having carved out a starting role, Wade has been far from a must-roster player, averaging just 7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in seven appearances over the past month.

Wade (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Wade will suit up for a second consecutive contest following a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Over six appearances since the All-Star break, the 29-year-old forward has averaged 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per tilt.

Wade (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Wade returned from a three-game absence Sunday and logged 21 minutes with seven points and three rebounds. His ankle responded well, and the Cavaliers are anticipating that he will play the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Wade (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Boston, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade missed the Cavaliers' last three games due to a right ankle sprain. He earned the probable tag for Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday, and the seventh-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to return. Wade will likely start in his return due to the absence of Jarrett Allen (knee), with the former joining Evan Mobley in the frontcourt.

Wade (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Wade was able to practice Friday and is trending towards a return after three games on the shelf. With Jarrett Allen (knee) sidelined, the Cavaliers may need Wade to soak up a handful of minutes in the frontcourt.
