CLEVELAND (AP) — Cavaliers forward Max Strus is expected to miss at least the first three months of the season after having surgery Tuesday on his broken left foot.

The Cavaliers said Strus suffered a Jones fracture — a break of the bone that connects the pinkie toe to the base of the foot — during offseason training. The procedure was performed by Dr. David Porter at Forte Sports Medicine and Orthopedics in Indianapolis in consultation with team physician Dr. James Rosneck.

The Cavaliers said Strus is expected to resume basketball activities in three to four months.

Strus averaged 9.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 50 games, including 37 starts, during the regular season to help the Cavs finish atop the Eastern Conference.
