Max Strus Out for Cavaliers with Ankle Injury
Max Strus is dealing with a right ankle injury and will not play for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been managing this injury since December 21, 2024. This absence affects his availability for upcoming games.
What It Means
Strus’s absence impacts the Cavaliers as he averages 9 points per game and makes about 3 three-pointers per game. His shooting percentage stands at 37.5%. Losing him means fewer scoring options from beyond the arc.
The Cavaliers may rely more on Donovan Mitchell, who leads the team in points, or Sam Merrill to fill in the gap left by Strus. Both players will need to step up in their roles to maintain the team’s performance without Strus on the court.
