Cleveland has ruled out Strus as he continues to be sidelined to begin the season while recovering from a left foot injury.
The Cavaliers have also ruled out Nance Jr. due to a right calf strain that has sidelined him since November 28.

San Antonio has listed Fox as questionable due to left adductor tightness and he is in danger of missing his second consecutive contest after he sat out Saturday’s loss to the Jazz.
If Fox is sidelined once again on Monday, Julian Champagnie may fill in for him once again in the starting lineup alongside Stephon Castle in the backcourt while Dylan Harper could also have an increased role off the bench.
Outside of Fox, the rest of the Spurs’ roster enters Monday’s game healthy as they try to pick up their 24th victory of the season.
Fans can catch Monday night’s matchup between the Cavaliers and Spurs from San Antonio at 8:00 p.m. EST on NBC and Peacock.
