Max Strus News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers

Ramping up, nearing debut The Cavaliers assigned Strus to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Monday.

Impact Strus will remain out Monday for the Cavaliers' matchup with the 76ers, but his assignment to the G League signals that he's drawing closer to making his 2025-26 debut. The veteran wing will likely rejoin the parent club after practicing with the Charge on Monday, and if all goes well during the workout, he could be deemed ready to play at some point soon thereafter. Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson told Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland on Sunday that Strus still has to visit his doctor for one more checkup appointment before officially being cleared for game action.

Ready for on-court activity Strus (foot) has been cleared for on-court workouts, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com.

Impact It's an important step forward for Strus, who's set to begin practicing soon as he recovers from offseason foot surgery. That said, the swingman remains without a definitive timeline for his season debut and figures to miss at least another week of play. Until Strus is finally cleared for game action, both Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill should remain worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy formats.

Impact Updates on Strus' status have been few and far between since he underwent surgery in late August to address a Jones fracture of his left foot, but Atkinson's comments offer some encouragement that the 29-year-old's 2025-26 debut could be on the horizon. Atkinson said last week that he fully anticipates Strus playing in games before the end of the regular season, but a more definitive target date for his return likely won't become clear until he takes part in full-contact scrimmaging with teammates. Strus will likely have his playing time monitored carefully once he's ready to play, but the career 36.8 percent three-point shooter will give the Cavaliers some extra floor spacing whenever he takes the court.

Impact Strus is ramping up his activity amidst his recovery from offseason foot surgery, but it doesn't seem like he'll be ready for game action imminently. For the time being, the 29-year-old swingman can be deemed week-to-week. Until Strus is cleared to play, Jaylon Tyson remains worth holding in the majority of fantasy leagues.
