Cleveland Cavaliers swingman Max Strus is still a long way from returning to the court , but Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson said that he is on the mend.

Before Saturday night's game against the Chicago Bulls, Atkinson provided an update on Strus, who is recovering from a Jones fracture of his left foot. He suffered the injury during a routine workout just three weeks before training camp.

“He's on the court shooting, so that's good,” Atkinson said. “Still no contact yet, but he is doing on-court work, progressing well. No setbacks.”

While Strus is likely to be on the sidelines until at least the New Year, it is good to know that there hasn't been a bump in his road back to overcoming his latest obstacle.
