Max Strus is sidelined after suffering a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his right foot during a Clippers preseason appearance. The team says he will be re-evaluated in about four weeks, which would keep him out of the early part of the season.
Sources agree the injury is a plantar fascia tear and that the recovery timeline centers on a four-week reassessment. The Athletic reports that the announcement effectively rules Strus out for the rest of October and preseason, while other coverage frames it as missing the start of the season.
Some outlets also note the broader context for the Clippers’ roster. Yahoo Sports mentions that several rotation players are already unavailable, and Strus’ injury adds to expected absences as the team prepares for the season opener. All reporting centers on the injury details and the same next step: medical evaluation in roughly four weeks.
