Cavaliers' Max Strus Set to Return from Ankle Injury Friday

The forward is expected to make his season debut against the Wizards after recovering from an October ankle sprain.

Max Strus is set to return to action for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday against the Washington Wizards, barring any setbacks.
The 28-year-old forward has been sidelined since mid-October due to an ankle sprain sustained during individual workouts.
Strus started all 70 games he played last season, posting career-high averages in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
His return will allow Cleveland to reimplement its most-used starting lineup from last season, which had an 18-10 record together.
Strus joined the Cavaliers in 2023 via a sign-and-trade with the Miami Heat and is known for his reliable three-point shooting and versatility on the wing.
