Strus, who also hauled in seven boards, posted a new playoff high in threes made and notched his second game with 10 or more points in the series against the Celtics.
Struggles in Game 3 loss
Strus totaled six points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 106-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Strus continues to deliver nothing but mediocrity, scoring fewer than 15 points for the eighth time in the past nine games, all during the playoffs. If the Cavaliers have any chance of beating the Celtics, they are going to need Strus to rediscover his form from earlier in the season. Based on what we have seen during the postseason, that might be wishful thinking.
Another quiet outing
Strus produced seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Strus has failed to score more than seven points in four straight games to start the postseason. He's shooting 38.5 percent from the field during that stretch. Strus grabbed only two rebounds during the two losses in Orlando after totaling 18 boards across the two wins in Cleveland.
Records first career triple-double
Strus amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds and 11 assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 loss to the Hornets. Strus was more involved in the offense Sunday with Donovan Mitchell (knee), Darius Garland (back) and Caris LeVert (knee) all sitting out of the Cavs' regular-season finale. Strus took advantage of the expanded role as he registered the first triple-double of his career and a career-high 11 assists. He ends his first regular season in Cleveland averaging 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists over 32.0 minutes per game.
Season-high nine dimes vs. Clippers
Strus closed with 20 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 120-118 loss to the Clippers. Strus has recorded six-plus assists in three of his last four games, and he was one assist shy of matching his career high that he set in Jan. of 2023 with the Heat. His 20 points Sunday was the first time since Feb. 27 against the Mavericks that he's reached that mark as he drained four of the Cavaliers' 11 three-point makes. Since returning from an 11-game absence due to a right knee strain, Strus is averaging 13.1 points on 49.2 percent shooting, including 40.5 percent from three, 4.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 31.1 minutes per game.
Drills five triples in return
Strus (knee) scored 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt) and added four rebounds and two steals in 24 minutes Wednesday in the Cavaliers' 118-111 loss to the Hornets. Making his return from a 12-game absence due to a right knee strain, Strus reclaimed his spot in the starting five while Caris LeVert headed to the bench. Strus didn't take long to get acclimated in his return, as he hit a triple in the game's opening minute and nailed four more over the course of the night to finish second to Jarrett Allen (24 points) among all Cavaliers players in scoring. The 27-year-old should hold down a starting role on the wing moving forward, but he'll likely lose out on some shot attempts if Donovan Mitchell (nose) is able to rejoin the Cleveland backcourt Friday versus the 76ers.
Will start Wednesday
Strus (knee) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports. Strus is set to return from a 12-game absence, so he may have his minutes monitored in his first game back. He'll be joined in the first unit by Darius Garland, Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, while Caris LeVert will head to the bench.
Upgraded to questionable
Strus (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte. Strus ascending to questionable gives him a chance to return from a 12-game absence due to a right knee sprain. Sam Merrill has been an admirable fill-in of late, delivering 10.3 points and knocking down 41.2 percent of 7.3 threes per game across his last seven contests, but Strus would be valued reinforcements while Donovan Mitchell (nose) is amid an extended absence.
