Max Strus Says Back Issue "Just A Little Bruise"
2 years agoMiami Heat guard/forward Max Strus (back) briefly left Tuesday's Game 2 against New York with a lower back contusion, but he's been quoted as saying that he's dealing with "just a little bruise." The 27-year-old had one of the best games of his playoff career Tuesday, shooting 3-for-7 from deep and 7-for-12 overall from the field en route to 17 points. Strus had a tough time scoring the basketball efficiently during the regular season, and while his scoring average has dropped during the playoffs, Strus has managed to greatly improve his shooting percentages and is hitting over 41 percent from deep. It looks like he's good to go for Saturday's Game 3, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Strus pop up on the injury report.
