The Cavs currently sit at 41-33, good for seventh place in the Eastern Conference as they look towards postseason basketball with the season winding down. However, Cleveland’s roster is tending to some injuries, with the likes of Jarrett Allen and Dean Wade both shelved with ailments. Allen, who fractured his left finger, has had some optimism swirling around a potential return, as has Wade, who <a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-cleveland-hit-with-dean-wade-injury-setback-amid-jarrett-allen-optimism/">tore his meniscus</a> in his right knee. On Monday, the Cavs provided a brutal injury update on Wade, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cleveland has ruled out forward Dean Wade for the rest of the season with a surgery to repair a meniscus injury in his right knee.</p><p>— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) <a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1508490401505857555?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">March 28, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Per Wojnarowski, the Cavs have ruled out forward Dean Wade for the remainder of the season. Wade will undergo surgery to repair his torn meniscus. The 25-year-old was initially expected to miss several weeks, with the door left open for a possible return at some point this season.</p><p>Sadly, that won’t be the case. The Cavs are still hoping to get Jarrett Allen, who has <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/more-sports/bickerstaff-says-allen-has-started-to-do-more-things-but-doesn-t-know-when-he-ll-be-back/ar-AAVwSGy?ocid=uxbndlbing">slowly begun to ramp up</a> his activity level, for the postseason. However, the more immediate news in Cavs Nation is the injury update on Wade, who has grown into an important player in Cleveland’s rotation.</p><p>Wade has averaged 5.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.0 three-pointers made per game across 51 contests played this season. Forward Lamar Stevens figures to handle a larger bench workload while the likes of Lauri Markkanen and Kevin Love will have to do more of the heavy lifting as frontcourt starters in Wade’s absence.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While there has been some recent optimism t<a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-jarrett-allen-injury-update-will-make-cleveland-fans-happy/">hat Jarrett Allen could be healthy soon</a>, the Cavs have now been hit with another unfortunate setback.</p><p><a href="https://theathletic.com/3198951/2022/03/21/heat-a-potential-suitor-for-bradley-beal-herniated-disc-holding-ben-simmons-back-and-more-nba-news-inside-pass/?source=twitterhq">Per Shams:</a></p><blockquote>Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is hopeful of a return to the lineup within the next three weeks after suffering a fractured left finger on March 6, sources said. Allen has so far resisted surgery on the finger, which would have had a lengthy return timetable. The Cavaliers have 11 games left in the season.However: Cavs forward Dean Wade has suffered a partial meniscus tear in his right knee and will miss several weeks, sources said. It’s yet another injury to a Cavaliers role player. Wade has been a key and versatile rotation piece, averaging 5.3 points and three rebounds while shooting 35.9 percent from 3-point land.</blockquote><p>Wade is a pretty important piece to their bench, playing 19.2 minutes per game. While his usage is only at 11%, he does contribute offensively. The Cavs have been very unlucky all season, with Collin Sexton getting injured at the start of the campaign, while Ricky Rubio tore his ACL then he was traded.</p><p>Nevertheless, the Cavs’ young core of Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, and Evan Mobley is managing to carry the load, never mind the leadership and veteran presence of Kevin Love. With Allen hoping to return within the next three weeks, that means he would be back for the postseason, which would be massive. hopefully, Wade is in the mix again by then as well.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
