Strus (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Strus was a late addition to the injury report due to right ankle soreness, and it appears the issue is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Monday's contest. Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson and newcomer De'Andre Hunter are all candidates to be inserted into the Cavaliers' starting lineup due to Strus' injury. Strus' next opportunity to see the floor will be Wednesday against the Raptors.

Strus is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves due to right ankle soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Strus was a late addition to the injury report, but the wing is considered day-to-day. If Strus is held out for Monday's game, the Cavaliers could use a committee approach to soak up his minutes with Sam Merrill, De'Andre Hunter and Jaylon Tyson possibly getting more run.
