Max Strus to miss time with foot injury
Los Angeles Clippers guard Max Strus suffered a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his right foot during the team’s preseason opener against the Golden State Warriors, according to ESPN’s NBA reporting. He is expected to be reevaluated in four weeks.
Strus left Sunday’s game after the non-contact injury and did not return. The Clippers went on to defeat the Warriors 104-101 in Honolulu, but the result was overshadowed by the injury update.
The injury adds an early concern for Los Angeles as the team evaluates its roster ahead of the regular season. A four-week reevaluation timeline means Strus’ availability will remain uncertain while the Clippers monitor his recovery.
The injury report was included in ESPN’s NBA preseason news update. Details of the injury and timetable were attributed to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
