The Cleveland Cavaliers announced on Tuesday that guard Max Strus underwent surgery on his left foot and may miss three to four months, which will sideline him for a portion of the 2025-26 regular season.
Strus, 29, suffered a Jones fracture during a recent workout and underwent surgery at Forte Sports Medicine and Orthopedics in Indianapolis. A Jones fracture is a break of the bone linking the pinkie toe to the foot's base.
The prolific distance shooter also missed the first two months last season after suffering a sprained right ankle during pre-season workouts.
He returned in late December and played in 50 regular season contests, averaging 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Strus shot 38.6 percent from 3-point range, converting 2.3 treys per outing. In nine playoff games, he averaged 11.7 points, including two games with 20 or more points in the East semifinals vs. Indiana.
After one season in Chicago and three in Miami, the DePaul product joined Cleveland on a four-year, $63 million sign-and-trade deal. In his first season with the Cavs, he averaged a career-high 12.2 points per game.
Strus averages 10.4 points across 309 career contests, including 156 starts.
