BREAKING NEWS: Max Strus to miss 3-4 months with a fracture in his foot
Cavaliers wing Max Strus has undergone surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot, the team announced. He is expected to miss three to four months.
The injury occurred during offseason training.
This is the latest injury blow and the second big surgery news of the Cavaliers’ offseason. It was recently revealed that starting point guard Darius Garland is likely to miss training camp and the first few weeks of the season. Garland underwent surgery on a big toe injury suffered during the playoffs.
So coach Kenny Atkinson will be down two players who started last season to tip off 2025-26.

So thats 2 starters missing training camp…
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Hurt every yr ,another wasted yr..
Doesn't even matter he'll be back when the season actually means something
Every year dude start the season hurt
Who ever thinks the Cavaliers are a sure lock to win the East needs they're heads examined…I don't even think they'll be in the eastern conference finals😂😂😂
malik beasley.
starting max at the 3 was a joke along with garland and mitchell … please start a normal size SF lol
So Strus and Garland won’t make their season debuts until December. Hunter can now start at the 3, but I still expect the Cavaliers to get off to a slow start to the upcoming season.
Mike we need to let the team play and play harder than last year stop babying them that's the problem with this team
Mikey, you sound nuts…we told you they was injury prone, and all the pieces are starting the fall like we told you. We told you we needed some big free agent pickups to offset BS like this…AND HERE WE ARE. YOU ALWAYS SIT THERE LIKE A CASUAL WITH THESE TAKES. We already told you this and now you want to give the Cavs the benefit of the doubt and put band-aids on the situation . ITS TOO LATE MIKEY
We won't see Strus till after all-star break…
Giving Max and Sam 4 guaranteed years was GM malpractice…why doesn't Koby like slapping on a team option in that 4th year…to keep some flexibility…something we don't have…assets and we are strangled by the 2nd apron! Max layed an EGG in our only elimination game last year right after calling out/challenging his teammates! That performance was UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Big opportunity now for Hunter to start and hoping Wade steps up and gets finally aggressive on the offensive end! Not a fan of Tyson…he's a big combo guard who needs the ball and unfortunately has always had a loose handle! Lonzo and Tyrese now have a real opportunity! 50 wins is not a lock this year! Still can't believe we gave Sam 4 GUARANTEED years!
Max is a 2 guard…that has been playing the SF roll way too much…..
Glad Larry is back!!! The Cavs moving forward are REALLY about Mobley and Mitchell…this has to be the year or look out for DG and or Mitchell to gety moved…Our $$$$$$$$$$$$$ problem/2nd apron strangling us is REAL!
Lonzo/Larry/Tyrese/Wade….will be important!
Hawks are Dangerous…every talks about the Magic but their 2nd unit…is meh! Plus Suggs is never healthy and W.Carter is very mediocre as a starter! Hawks could be this years INDY! Their size and length and depth is REAL!
The Cavs should just start Craig Porter and Sam Merril to start season so they have a tiny starting line up that cant defend just like when Garland and Strus come back. Problem is CPJ is a better defender than Garland, maybe start Proctor, but hes too tall.
Well now start hunter at 3
Start Alonzo Ball and Mitchell
