A new month of hoops has arrived.

Speaking about arrivals, Cleveland Cavaliers is still waiting for Max Strus (Stagg) to make his season debut. The 28-year-old forward has yet to play this season as he’s recovering from a right ankle sprain.

Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson gave no timetable but did say he was “progressing quickly.”
