Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus underwent surgery to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot and will miss around three to four months, the team announced Tuesday.
Strus suffered the injury during recent offseason workouts.
Strus, 28, joined the Cavaliers on a four-year, $63 million sign-and-trade two summers ago and has played a pivotal role in Cleveland’s rise to Eastern Conference contenders over the last two years.
Strus was also hurt to start last year due to a right ankle sprain he suffered during workouts. He missed the first two months of the season before returning to average 9.4 points and 3.2 assists while shooting 38.6% from 3-point range.
His approximate recovery timeline means he’s set to miss at least the first month of this season, which starts for Cleveland on Oct. 22.
