Strus (hip) is expected to be ready for game action by Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Raptors, and he is now cleared to participate in on-court, non-contact, full-speed workouts, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Strus will miss the remainder of the preseason due to a hip injury, but he will likely be good to go by Opening Night as the team slowly works him back to playing form. If the 28-year-old is not ready by the opener, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade and Georges Niang are candidates for more playing time.
