Kenny Atkinson admits the Cleveland Cavaliers could use different players as their starting small forward while Max Strus is injured.

Strus' first season in Cleveland was arguably the best of his career. He averaged 12.2 points per game (a career-high), 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 0.9 steals while shooting 41.8 percent from the field and 35.1 percent from three, attempting 6.8 threes a game.

Cleveland Cavaliers starting small forward Max Strus will miss time with an injury. The Cavs announced the timetable.

Isaac Okoro is the most likely candidate to slide into the starting lineup after the Strus injury news. At this point in his career, he's definitely more suited as a 3-and-D shooting hard, but he does have plenty of experience starting and paying at small forward from his first two seasons in the NBA.
