1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE
Makes impact in season debut Strus recorded 11 points (3-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 125-118 loss to the Raptors.
Impact Strus made his season debut after being sidelined since the preseason opener due to a foot injury. The veteran wing wasn't shy and made an impact across the box score. Strus' playing time should tick up, and he might even enter the starting lineup as he gets further removed from the injury.
NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared to return Strus (foot) will return Monday against the Raptors.
Impact Strus, who has been sidelined since the preseason opener, officially has the green light to return following a brief G League stint. Given how long he was out, the Clippers are likely to ease him back into things.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled by parent team The Clippers recalled Strus (foot) from the G League's San Diego Clippers on Sunday.
Impact Strus spent the weekend on assignment with San Diego as he continued to work in overcoming a partially torn plantar fascia that has prevented him from making his season debut. Following a considerable absence, he may initially play at the G League level, looking to get back on track before offering the NBA squad a reliable second-unit contributor of points and rebounds.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Practices with G League team Saturday Strus (foot) practiced and participated in 5-on-5 with the San Diego Clippers on Saturday, Los Angeles Clippers sideline reporter/host Ohm Youngmisuk reports.
Impact Strus continues to progress in his recovery from a partially torn plantar fascia in his right foot suffered in the Clippers' preseason opener. He'll keep working with the G League affiliate and will likely play his first minutes of the season there before he's cleared to return to the NBA level.
NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Assigned to G League Los Angeles assigned Strus (foot) to the G League's San Diego Clippers on Friday.
Impact Strus has made progress in his recovery from his plantar fasciitis, but he's expected to require a few more days to regain full health.

OCTOBER 6 • CLIPPERHOLICS.COM
Will be re-evaluated in four weeks Strus has been diagnosed with a partially torn plantar fascia in his right foot and he will be re-evaluated in four weeks, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Plantar fascia injuries can be tricky to recover from, with the only remedy typically being prolonged rest, so don't be surprised if Strus' absence extends well beyond this initial four-week window. With Strus now set to miss at least the first few weeks of the season, and Bradley Beal (knee) uncertain for opening night, Keaton Wagler could be thrust into the first unit sooner than expected.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Won't return Sunday Strus will not return to Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors due to a right foot injury, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Strus appeared to tweak his foot while making a cut in the first quarter. Keaton Wagler figures to see more playing time with Strus out.

Heads to locker room Sunday Strus exited Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors due to an apparent right ankle injury, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Sunday Strus is in the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason opener against the Warriors, but he will only be available for the first half of play, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Impact Strus has the edge to start over Keaton Wagler to begin the season, as he has chemistry with Darius Garland from their time together in Cleveland. With Brandon Ingram (Achilles) and Bradley Beal (knee) banged up, Strus should see an expanded role with the Clippers.

Expanded role incoming? Strus could be in line for an expanded role to begin the season with Brandon Ingram sidelined while recovering from a partially torn Achilles and right heel surgery.
Impact The Clippers haven't established a timetable for Ingram's return, opening additional minutes on the wing for Strus. The veteran's perimeter shooting makes him one of the more logical options to absorb some of Ingram's playing time while Los Angeles waits for its new forward to return.
