During the 2021-2022 season, Wade produced 5.3 points per game while shooting 45.6% from the field. He also averaged 2.9 rebounds per game and 1 assist per game.
The Kansas State product was picked up in a two-way contract in 2019. The 2022-2023 season marks his third year with the Cavaliers.
Extending Wade's contract comes weeks after the blockbuster trade deal trading forward Larui Markkanen, guard Collin Sexton, forward Ochai Agbaji, three unprotected first-round picks and two pick-swaps for point guard Donovan Mitchell.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski was first to report on the deal.
