Cavaliers dealt heavy blow before training camp even begins

With Cleveland Cavaliers training camp rapidly approaching, Max Strus will be a notable absence from the team after the latest news from Shams Charania. The injury bug has already struck the Cavaliers ahead of the upcoming 2025-26 NBA season.

Charania wrote on Twitter/X, "Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus underwent surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot sustained during recent offseason workout and will miss approximately 3 to 4 months."

The projected recovery period offered by the NBA insider means Strus would be expected back in late November, in the earliest of scenarios.
