Max Strus Nearing Return to Cavaliers Lineup After Jones Fracture

Max Strus is expected to return to the court for the Cleveland Cavaliers within the next week. Strus has been sidelined since late August after suffering a Jones fracture in his left foot. His return introduces new rotation questions for the coaching staff as they prepare for the postseason, specifically regarding how he will integrate with teammates like James Harden. Strus is viewed as a key tone-setter whose perimeter shooting and on-ball ability will bolster the roster.
