An NBA injury report revealed Saturday that Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus is listed as probable to play on the court.

Barring any setback, Strus is expected to make his season debut in Sunday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

This comes after an off-season foot injury that kept Strus off the court for most of the 2025-2026 season.

Strus broke his left foot, a Jones fracture, last summer and had surgery on it. The injury took months of recovery.

A Jones fracture is a break of the bone that connects the pinkie toe to the base of the foot.

In January, he had an evaluation that extended his recovery time.

Last season, Strus averaged 25.5 minutes a game with 9.4 points, 3.2 assists and 4.3 rebounds and shooting 44.2% from the field.
