The Cavaliers, already dealing with recent injuries, will be without Dean Wade for at least the next two weeks. Wade sustained a right knee injury during the Cavs ' Jan. 24 game in Philadelphia and then missed the next two games. An MRI administered Monday revealed a right knee bone bruise, according to a release from the team.

The Cavaliers have suddenly found themselves dealing with the dreaded injury bug, a problem that’s striking just about every team in the NBA this time of year.

Still out for Wednesday

"I think the way things played out still holds a grudge to them and they don't realize the great runs we had in the time I was there."

If the Cavaliers can find a trade package for a player who is a clear upgrade over LeVert ( say, Cameron Johnson ), then trading LeVert in that potential deal would absolutely make sense. However, a deal before the deadline would not make sense if the front office is only looking to trade LeVert solely to reduce payroll.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to continue their two-game winning streak on Thursday night when they face off against the Atlanta Hawks. Cavs fans all know that the Hawks can be a tricky and difficult opponent so they want all the help they can get.

Following the Donovan Mitchell trade before the 2022-23 season, the Cavaliers didn't have much draft capital. The next unprotected first-rounder they could offer in a trade is their 2031 pick. Because of this, Jaylon Tyson, Cleveland's first-round pick from the 2024 draft, could be used as the key piece in a blockbuster trade.

The Cavaliers face tough times with injuries to their rotation, but hopeful updates suggest a potential return for key players soon.

LeVert (wrist) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Detroit. LeVert will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a right wrist sprain, and his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday ...

Sources at ClutchPoints have confirmed earlier reports suggesting that Wade may face an extended recovery period due to his ongoing knee issues. This potential absence could significantly impact the Cavs, as Wade has become integral to Atkinson's rotation, known for his versatility and strong two-way play.

Although they dealt with the second game back-to-back, the Cavs showed no sign of fatigue at home against the Hawks.

One bad stretch or a symptom of something bigger? The Cavs big man wants to make sure this defensive blip is the former.
