  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Suffers significant setback

    Strus (hip) is expected to miss at least six weeks of action due to a right ankle sprain he suffered during a workout Thursday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

    Strus was initially expected to be ready to go for Opening Night while recovering from a hip injury. However, the 28-year-old forward's ankle injury will now likely keep him sidelined until at least early December. In his absence, Isaac Okoro, Caris LeVert and Dean Wade are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Expected back by Opening Night

    Strus (hip) is expected to be ready for game action by Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Raptors, and he is now cleared to participate in on-court, non-contact, full-speed workouts, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Strus will miss the remainder of the preseason due to a hip injury, but he will likely be good to go by Opening Night as the team slowly works him back to playing form. If the 28-year-old is not ready by the opener, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade and Georges Niang are candidates for more playing time.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: All-around outing in Game 5 defeat

    Strus ended Wednesday's 113-98 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 12 points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and nine assists in 45 minutes.

    Strus put up a well-rounded stat line, handing out a team-high-tying assist total to go along with a team-high-tying rebound mark in a near double-double outing. Strus reached double figures in scoring in three of the five games against Boston, adding at least seven rebounds and seven assists in the final two games of the series.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Leads from deep in balanced Game 4

    Strus provided 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 43 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 109-102 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Strus led all players in Monday's contest in threes made while ending as one of four Cavaliers with double-digit scoring and handing out a team-high-tying assist total along with a pair of steals. Strus, who also hauled in seven boards, posted a new playoff high in threes made and notched his second game with 10 or more points in the series against the Celtics.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Struggles in Game 3 loss

    Strus totaled six points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Strus continues to deliver nothing but mediocrity, scoring fewer than 15 points for the eighth time in the past nine games, all during the playoffs. If the Cavaliers have any chance of beating the Celtics, they are going to need Strus to rediscover his form from earlier in the season. Based on what we have seen during the postseason, that might be wishful thinking.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Another quiet outing

    Strus produced seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Strus has failed to score more than seven points in four straight games to start the postseason. He's shot 38.5 percent from the field during that stretch. Strus grabbed only two rebounds during the two losses in Orlando after totaling 18 boards across the two wins in Cleveland.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Records first career triple-double

    Strus amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and 11 assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 loss to the Hornets.

    Strus was more involved in the offense Sunday with Donovan Mitchell (knee), Darius Garland (back) and Caris LeVert (knee) all sitting out of the Cavs' regular-season finale. Strus took advantage of the expanded role as he registered the first triple-double of his career and a career-high 11 assists. He ends his first regular season in Cleveland averaging 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists over 32.0 minutes per game.

  • Cavaliers' Max Strus: Season-high nine dimes vs. Clippers

    Strus closed with 20 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 120-118 loss to the Clippers.

    Strus has recorded six-plus assists in three of his last four games, and he was one assist shy of matching his career high that he set in Jan. of 2023 with the Heat. His 20 points Sunday was the first time since Feb. 27 against the Mavericks that he's reached that mark as he drained four of the Cavaliers' 11 three-point makes. Since returning from an 11-game absence due to a right knee strain, Strus is averaging 13.1 points on 49.2 percent shooting, including 40.5 percent from three, 4.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 31.1 minutes per game.
