Cavaliers Rule Out Max Strus vs. Celtics as Final Medical Check Nears

Imaging shows progress under a stepwise ramp-up toward medical clearance.

Overview

  • Head coach Kenny Atkinson said Strus is ramping up and still awaits one more doctor visit before potential clearance.
  • Cleveland officially listed Strus out for Sunday’s game against Boston as he continues his return from offseason Jones fracture surgery.
  • Strus participated in roughly 90% of a recent practice, a key milestone reported by team broadcaster Serena Winters.
  • Team statements cited progressive healing on imaging and consultation with Dr. David Porter and team physician Dr. James Rosneck during his structured ramp-up.
  • Reporting points to the upcoming back-to-back against the 76ers as a possible opportunity for a debut, though no return has been confirmed.
