Ultimately ruled out Friday
Strus (ankle) won't play in Friday's game versus the Wizards.
Analysis
Despite previous reports suggesting that Strus would make his season debut against Washington, he will remain sidelined Friday. However, it appears Strus is nearing a return to action with his next chance to suit up coming in Monday's matchup with Brooklyn.

Looks set to debut Friday
Strus (ankle) is expected to be cleared to make his season debut in Friday's game against the Wizards, Grant Afseth of RG.org reports.
Analysis
Strus has been sidelined since the preseason, when he was initially shut down with a hip contusion before suffering a right ankle sprain during the ramp-up process in October. The 28-year-old seems to have made noteworthy progress in his recovery of late, as he had recently been assigned to the G League's Cleveland Charge for practice work before rejoining the Cavaliers. He'll presumably get in some more on-court work over the next few days leading up to Friday's matchup, and if he's cleared to play as expected, Strus will likely be on a minute restriction. Strus started in all 70 of his appearances in 2024-25 and could eventually supplant Isaac Okoro (knee) on the top unit, but a regular 30-plus-minute role may be difficult to come by for Strus once he's free of restrictions. In addition to Okoro, the Cavaliers also have Georges Niang, Sam Merrill, Caris LeVert and Dean Wade on hand in a deep stable of forwards to challenge Strus for playing time.

Returns to parent club
The Cavaliers recalled Strus (ankle) from the G League's Cleveland Charge on Saturday.
Analysis
Strus was assigned to the G League on Friday and returned to the NBA club Saturday, but the Charge didn't have a game during that span, so the veteran wing presumably got some practice time in. It's unclear how much work Strus was able to do, but this was his second stint with the Charge this week, suggesting he's ramping up for a return to game action. When cleared to make his season debut, Strus will likely face heavy restrictions.

Assigned to G League squad
Strus (ankle) was assigned to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Friday.
Analysis
Strus continues to work back from a right ankle injury and figures to join the Charge for practice considering the team doesn't have a game Friday or Saturday. He remains without a timetable for a return.
