Cleveland Cavaliers F Max Strus out at least 3-4 months after suffering foot fracture during offseason training

Max Strus underwent surgery for a Jones fracture and is projected to return in three to four months, missing the start of the NBA season, the Cavaliers announced.

  • Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot and is expected to miss at least three months, with a return in three to four months anticipated.
  • During offseason training, Max Strus suffered a Jones fracture, a break connecting the pinkie toe to the foot, leading to surgery by Dr. David Porter in Indianapolis with Dr. James Rosneck consulted.
  • Last season, Strus averaged 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 50 games, starting 37, while the Cavaliers went 25-7 without him, per StatMuse.
  • His recovery timeline means Max Strus is set to miss at least the first month of the season, which begins Oct. 22, and Coach Kenny Atkinson will be down two starters as Darius Garland may also miss the start of the 2025-26 season.
  • Given his injury history, Max Strus joined Cleveland Cavaliers on a four-year, $63 million sign-and-trade and missed over 32 games last season; the team remains a strong 2025-26 contender.
