Practicing in G League again
The Cavaliers assigned Strus to the G League's Cleveland Charge to take part in practice Wednesday.
Analyse
For the second time in three days, Strus will take part in on-court work with the G League club as he continues to work his way back from left foot surgery, which he underwent back in August. Strus won't join the Cavaliers for the start of their two-game road trip Wednesday in Orlando and would appear unlikely to join the team for Friday's game in Dallas, but if he continues to respond well to practice, he could make his season debut soon thereafter.

Ruled out for Wednesday
Strus (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analyse
Strus is still recovering from left foot surgery he underwent in August, though he appears to be nearing a return to action after practicing with the Cavaliers' G League affiliate Monday. The 29-year-old wing's next opportunity to suit up will come Friday in Dallas.

Recalled after G League practice
The Cavaliers recalled Strus from the G League's Cleveland Charge after he practiced with the affiliate Monday.
Analyse
Strus has been sidelined all season while recovering from August surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot, but he's expected to be cleared to play at some point within the next week, per Joe Vardon of The Athletic. The 29-year-old wing took a big step forward in his recovery process by practicing in the G League on Monday, and he may just need to get another session or two under his belt before the Cavaliers give him the green light to play. Whenever he's formally cleared to play, Strus will likely be operating with a significant minutes restriction.

Ramping up, nearing debut
The Cavaliers assigned Strus to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Monday.
Analyse
Strus will remain out Monday for the Cavaliers' matchup with the 76ers, but his assignment to the G League signals that he's drawing closer to making his 2025-26 debut. The veteran wing will likely rejoin the parent club after practicing with the Charge on Monday, and if all goes well during the workout, he could be deemed ready to play at some point soon thereafter. Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson told Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland on Sunday that Strus still has to visit his doctor for one more checkup appointment before officially being cleared for game action.
