Strus (ankle) is expected to be cleared to make his season debut in Friday's game against the Wizards, Grant Afseth of RG.org reports. Strus has been sidelined since the preseason, when he was initially shut down with a hip contusion before suffering a right ankle sprain during the ramp-up process in October.

Cavs swingman Max Strus is nearing his season debut. Sources tell cleveland.com that Strus went through a full practice with the Cavaliers on Tuesday afternoon in Miami — his first official practice session since suffering a severe ankle sprain nearly two months ago.
