Miami Heat's Max Strus Expected Back In The Rotation Tonight Against Indiana Pacers
Miami Heat guard Max Strus surprisingly did not play in the second of Saturday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
On Monday, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters at the morning shootaround Strus will be back in the rotation for tonight's game at the Indiana Pacers. He didn't give a reason for Strus' absence other than he wanted to try something different.
Strus, who started most of last year, has been a mainstay in the rotation the past two seasons. This year, he is averaging 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 32 minutes.
The Heat could use his presence after losing to the Spurs, who entered as the worst team in the Western Conference. Tonight's game marks the beginning of a four-game road trip that has stops in Oklahoma City, Houston and San Antonio.
Tip-off in Indianapolis is at 7 p.m.
