CLEVELAND — Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade could miss one month with a sprained left shoulder. It's the latest injury for a Cleveland team that has been dealing with them all season. Wade got hurt in the first half of Friday's win over the Orlando Magic. The Cavs said Sunday that imaging tests confirmed the diagnosis of an AC joint sprain. Wade didn't score a point in 10 minutes before getting hurt. He is averaging 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in 24 minutes. Wade has started nine games as coach J.B. Bickerstaff has been forced to juggle lineups due to injuries. All-Star center Jarrett Allen will miss his fifth straight game Sunday night in New York with a back injury.
