The Cleveland Cavaliers have ruled forward Dean Wade out for the remainder of their first-round series with the Orlando Magic, the team announced on Wednesday.
Wade, 27, sustained a right knee sprain that has sidelined him since March 13. A recent MRI and daily rehabilitation revealed more time is needed to treat the injury.
According to the team, the four-year veteran will remain out indefinitely, and his status will be updated as appropriate.
Fortunately, in the first two games against the Magic, where the Cavs have won both games by double digits, they’ve not needed Wade.
Cleveland has been dominant in the series. They are defending at a high level, and Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen are leading the way. The Cavs have done their part at home, and we’ll see if the Magic can do the same in Orlando.
