The Cleveland Cavaliers have already been sensational this season and are the best team in the NBA.
But they could be on the verge of getting even better because of the return of a star player.
Max Strus’ re-entry to the team may be on the horizon and he could bring a lot to the Cavaliers.
Speaking on “Full Court Cleveland”, Sam Amico said Strus will provide great shooting abilities, which will help space the floor for Cleveland.
On top of that, he will give A-plus defense and fit in with the team right away.
Max Strus may be nearing his return. 👀 #LetEmKnow
"He's a very intense defender; he's going to fit right in. He's familiar with his teammates."

Strus scored 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game last season, his first with the Cavaliers.
He immediately became a vital part of the lineup and earned his spot as a starting player.
Sadly, an ankle injury has kept him on the sidelines all season long but he is just about ready to be back.
This is great news for the Cavaliers, who clearly haven’t needed him to find success.
They are already amazing, but Strus could make them even better.
It’s not 100% clear when Strus will be back but the Cavaliers have a very busy week ahead.
They are playing the Atlanta Hawks twice and then taking on the Boston Celtics on December 1.
They could use Strus’ shooting and defensive abilities during any of those games, but nothing is official yet.
The Cavaliers have made the most of their time without Strus but they are ready for him to be back.
