Cavaliers' Max Strus: Hits three triples in season debut
Max Strus (ankle) tallied nine points (3-8 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and two assists in 19 minutes in Friday's 124-101 win over the Bucks.Strus started in all 70 of his appearances with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2023-24, but after missing the first 27 games of the 2024-25 with a right hip contusion and a right ankle sprain, head coach Kenny Atkinson opted to ease the sharpshooting wing back in a bench role. The 28-year-old entered the contest with a restriction of about 20 minutes and provided the Cavaliers with some quality perimeter shooting during his time on the court. He'll likely be operating under a minutes cap once again in the second leg of the back-to-back set Saturday versus the 76ers, if he even plays at all. Once he gets fully ramped up, Strus could be a candidate to move into the starting five in place of Isaac Okoro, who recently suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder and is likely to miss at least two weeks. Dean Wade replaced Okoro on the top unit Friday, but over the long haul, the Cavaliers may prefer to have the superior floor-spacing option in Strus playing alongside Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: Looks set to debut Friday
Max Strus (ankle) is expected to be cleared to make his season debut in Friday's game against the Wizards, Grant Afseth of RG.org reports.Strus has been sidelined since the preseason, when he was initially shut down with a hip contusion before suffering a right ankle sprain during the ramp-up process in October. The 28-year-old seems to have made noteworthy progress in his recovery of late, as he had recently been assigned to the G League's Cleveland Charge for practice work before rejoining the Cleveland Cavaliers. He'll presumably get in some more on-court work over the next few days leading up to Friday's matchup, and if he's cleared to play as expected, Strus will likely be on a minute restriction. Strus started in all 70 of his appearances in 2024-25 and could eventually supplant Isaac Okoro (knee) on the top unit, but a regular 30-plus-minute role may be difficult to come by for Strus once he's free of restrictions. In addition to Okoro, the Cavaliers also have Georges Niang, Sam Merrill, Caris LeVert and Dean Wade on hand in a deep stable of forwards to challenge Strus for playing time.
