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.

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: 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: 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.

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.
