After missing nearly a month of action Cavs forward Dean Wade gets an encouraging update before the team faces the Knicks.

The biggest Cavs flaw that they must address after the 2025 NBA All-Star break is the lack of a center behind Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.

Wade (knee) recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes in Friday's 142-105 win over the Knicks.

Boston started red-hot from deep but struggled when the Cavaliers adjusted, using a mix of zone defense and small-ball lineups. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown carried the load, but Cleveland’s depth and in-game tweaks made the difference late.

Ty Jerome scored 20 points in 21 minutes, and the Cleveland Cavaliers routed the Orlando Magic 122-82 for their eighth consecutive win.

Some wins mean more than others. Some games aren’t just about the standings—they’re about proving a point. In Boston, the Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t just win another regular season game. Instead, the Cavaliers sent a message to the entire NBA.

Head coach Kenny Atkinson said after Thursday's win over the Nets that Wade (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Knicks, Danny Cunningham of the Locked On Cavs Podcast reports.
