Dwyane Wade has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a fractured right elbow.

An MRI on Thursday morning confirmed that Wade has a "sprain and a small fracture" in his right elbow. The Bulls have ruled him out for the regular season, but it's currently unclear if he can make it back in time for the playoffs if the Bulls can sneak in (he'll be re-evaluated in a week). With Wade out, Jimmy Butler gets a massive bump in usage and Rajon Rondo benefits as well. However, the biggest winner could be rookie Denzel Valentine. Over his last five games, Valentine has averaged 9.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.6 triples. Wade has a player option for $23.8 million next season and it's possible he has already played his last game as a Bull
