Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade suffered a bone bruise his right knee. Wade will likely miss multiple weeks of action while recovering from the injury. There's no structural damage in the knee, nor is it related to a previous meniscus surgery in the same knee, but Wade will still be shelved for a while.
The 6-foot-9 combo forward has started 26 of the 35 games he's played this season. Wade has averaged 6.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and often defends the opponent's best wing.
Max Strus has started since Wade went down. That's expected to continue for Cleveland.
