Cavaliers' Max Strus: Still no return timeline
Coach Kenny Atkinson said Sunday that Strus (ankle) still doesn't have a return timeline, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
Strus has yet to play this season after spraining his right ankle during a workout ahead of training camp. Given Atkinson's vague timeline, it would be surprising if Strus made his season debut in December. Isaac Okoro continues to start at small forward in Strus' absence.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: Suffers significant setback
Strus (hip) is expected to miss at least six weeks of action due to a right ankle sprain he suffered during a workout Thursday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
Strus was initially expected to be ready to go for Opening Night while recovering from a hip injury. 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.

Cavaliers' Max Strus: Expected back by Opening Night
Strus (hip) is expected to be ready for game action by Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Raptors, and he is now cleared to participate in on-court, non-contact, full-speed workouts, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Strus will miss the remainder of the preseason due to a hip injury, but he will likely be good to go by Opening Night as the team slowly works him back to playing form. If the 28-year-old is not ready by the opener, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade and Georges Niang are candidates for more playing time.

Strus ended Wednesday's 113-98 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 12 points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and nine assists in 45 minutes.
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.

Strus provided 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 43 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 109-102 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Strus led all players in Monday's contest in threes made while ending as one of four Cavaliers with double-digit scoring and handing out a team-high-tying assist total along with a pair of steals.

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.
