Top Max Strus News

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Makes impact in season debut

    Strus recorded 11 points (3-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 125-118 loss to the Raptors.

    Strus made his season debut after being sidelined since the preseason opener due to a foot injury. The veteran wing wasn't shy and made an impact across the box score. Strus' playing time should tick up, and he might even enter the starting lineup as he gets further removed from the injury.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Cleared to return

    Strus (foot) will return Monday against the Raptors.

    Strus, who has been sidelined since the preseason opener, officially has the green light to return following a brief G League stint. Given how long he was out, the Clippers are likely to ease him back into things.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Recalled by parent team

    The Clippers recalled Strus (foot) from the G League's San Diego Clippers on Sunday.

    Strus spent the weekend on assignment with San Diego as he continued to work in overcoming a partially torn plantar fascia that has prevented him from making his season debut. Following a considerable absence, he may initially play at the G League level, looking to get back on track before offering the NBA squad a reliable second-unit contributor of points and rebounds.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Practices with G League team Saturday

    Strus (foot) practiced and participated in 5-on-5 with the San Diego Clippers on Saturday, Los Angeles Clippers sideline reporter/host Ohm Youngmisuk reports.

    Strus continues to progress in his recovery from a partially torn plantar fascia in his right foot suffered in the Clippers' preseason opener. He'll keep working with the G League affiliate and will likely play his first minutes of the season there before he's cleared to return to the NBA level.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Progressing in recovery

    Strus (foot) is making progress but is set to miss at least one more week, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Strus sustained a partially torn plantar fascia in his right foot in the Clippers' preseason opener but is seemingly nearing a return to game action. Gradey Dick and Kobe Sanders will likely continue seeing increased playing time for as long as Strus and Brandon Ingram (Achilles) are sidelined.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Will be re-evaluated in four weeks

    Strus has been diagnosed with a partially torn plantar fascia in his right foot and he will be re-evaluated in four weeks, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Plantar fascia injuries can be tricky to recover from, with the only remedy typically being prolonged rest, so don't be surprised if Strus' absence extends well beyond this initial four-week window. With Strus now set to miss at least the first few weeks of the season, and Bradley Beal (knee) uncertain for opening night, Keaton Wagler could be thrust into the first unit sooner than expected.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Won't return Sunday

    Strus will not return to Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors due to a right foot injury, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

    Strus appeared to tweak his foot while making a cut in the first quarter. Keaton Wagler figures to see more playing time with Strus out.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Heads to locker room Sunday

    Strus exited Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors due to an apparent right ankle injury, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

    Strus exited in the first quarter straight to the locker room, seemingly favoring his right foot or ankle. Keaton Wagler could see some extra run if Strus is unable to return.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Starting Sunday

    Strus is in the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason opener against the Warriors, but he will only be available for the first half of play, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

    Strus has the edge to start over Keaton Wagler to begin the season, as he has chemistry with Darius Garland from their time together in Cleveland. With Brandon Ingram (Achilles) and Bradley Beal (knee) banged up, Strus should see an expanded role with the Clippers.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Expanded role incoming?

    Strus could be in line for an expanded role to begin the season with Brandon Ingram sidelined while recovering from a partially torn Achilles and right heel surgery.

    The Clippers haven't established a timetable for Ingram's return, opening additional minutes on the wing for Strus. The veteran's perimeter shooting makes him one of the more logical options to absorb some of Ingram's playing time while Los Angeles waits for its new forward to return.

  • Clippers' Max Strus: Traded to Clippers

    Strus was traded to the Clippers on Wednesday in exchange for Peyton Watson, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Strus will bring some perimeter shooting to Los Angeles and will likely be operating in a reserve role, helping to back up Brandon Ingram. Strus converted 40.2 percent of his three-point attempts over 12 regular-season contests last season, averaging 2.8 triples per game.
