Max Strus Spotted At Shootaround
4 months agoCleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (knee) was seen at the morning shootaround ahead of Monday's tilt versus the Chicago Bulls. Strus was held to just seven minutes of action in last Thursday's Paris win over the Brooklyn Nets due to soreness in his right knee, but the extra time off and his status at shootaround bode well for his chances of being available on Monday. The 27-year-old three-and-D wing is offering top-100 fantasy numbers in his first season with the Cavs as a full-time starter, playing in all 37 of their games while averaging 13.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.8 threes in 33.8 minutes. Sixth man Caris LeVert, who is already playing an augmented role with Darius Garland (jaw) on the shelf, would be in line for even more run potentially with the first unit if Strus is ultimately out on Monday, leaving behind additional minutes for the sharpshooting Sam Merrill with the reserves.
