According to the Cleveland Cavaliers, confirmed by multiple reports, Max Strus has suffered a right ankle sprain and will be out for the next six weeks.

The injury occurred during an individual workout this past Thursday.

While it is devastating that Strus is out, a door may open for rookie Jaylon Tyson, who has been impressive since the Summer League, to get some playing time.

Isaac Okoro and Caris LeVert will definitely see an increase in minutes due to this injury.

In his first season with Cleveland, Strus played in 70 games, averaging 12.2 points (career-high), 4.8 rebounds (career-high), 4.0 assists (career-high), and 0.9 steals (career-high).

The talented wing is 28 years of age.

According to multiple reports, Marcus Morris has finalized his selection to either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Philadelphia 76ers. Both teams had him on their roster last season.

As Morris heads into his 14th season, the 34-year-old can either re-sign with Cleveland or return to Philly. Either way, he wants a contract that isn’t centered around money but on a meaningful role.

In 37 games with Philly, Morris averaged 6.7 points and 2.9 rebounds. In 12 games with Cleveland, Morris averaged 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Jarrett Allen joins Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley as players to receive extensions from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

While his previous contract wasn’t set to expire until 2026, Cleveland has decided to lock him into their future permanently.

Allen has agreed to a three-year, $91 million contract extension, which will now guarantee him $131 million over the next five years. When his contract ends, he will be 31 years old.

It should also be noted that the center will be an unrestricted free agent in 2029-30.

Last season, Allen averaged 16.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in 77 games.
