Max Strus | Fantasy Outlook

Max Strus 2026-27 Outlook: Foot Injury Delays Clippers Debut

Acquired by the Clippers in an August trade, Strus entered training camp positioned for a key wing role. However, his campaign hit an immediate setback after he suffered a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his right foot on October 5. Strus will miss October and faces a four-week reevaluation.

When available, our models project Strus for 20.4 fantasy points, 10.3 points, and 4.4 rebounds across 25.8 minutes per game. His floor spacing, anchored by our projected 39.6% three-point shooting, should fit neatly alongside primary playmaker Darius Garland once cleared to play.

Facing backcourt competition from veteran Bradley Beal, Strus must reclaim rotation footing once healthy. Rostered in just 3% of fantasy leagues, the 30-year-old wing is strictly an injured-reserve stash or waiver monitor until he proves full durability and locks down dependable nightly run.
