March 15: Strus is available to make his season debut on Sunday vs. Dallas, tweets Ethan Sands of Cleveland.com.
March 11: Veteran wing Max Strus was assigned to the Cavaliers‘ G League affiliate to practice on Wednesday and is expected to remain with the Charge for another practice on Thursday and “possibly” a light workout on Friday morning, reports Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com.
Strus underwent surgery in August to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot. He has yet to play in 2025/26.
Assuming Strus’ foot responds well after the practices — he hasn’t had any setbacks in his most recent ramp-up process, a source tells Cleveland.com — it’s possible he could make his season debut on Sunday when the Cavs return home to face Dallas, according to Fedor.
The Cavs announced last week that imaging on Strus’ foot had shown “progressive healing” and he had resumed individual on-court workouts. Practicing with the Charge was one of the scheduled activities he needed to participate in before playing again.
Strus has been a key contributor for Cleveland the last two seasons, averaging 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 29.3 minutes per contest on .426/.364/.802 shooting in 120 games, including 107 starts. The 29-year-old will likely be on a minutes restriction for the rest of the ’25/26 regular season, Fedor writes.
Cavs still dangerous to me. Depth always a good thing. Cavs only 1 1/2 gms in back of Knicks.
How do you lose to Mavs. Just don’t get this team at times ..
Knicks today have same record as last yrs team. Just said it on tv. Considering how inconsistent they have been this year. That s a good stat to me. Only thing I xare about now. Is getting that 2nd seed. Celtics are playing great this year. But they should not finish ahead of Knicks. No freakin way lols.
Cavs lost and Pistons lost today. Knicks better be ready man.
