Story summary

The Los Angeles Clippers faced another setback during their preseason game against the Golden State Warriors in Hawaii on Sunday, with veteran forward Max Strus exiting early due to a non-contact injury. ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania later reported that Strus suffered a partial plantar fasciitis tear in his right foot and will be reevaluated after four weeks. The injury occurred just five minutes into the game as Strus cut across a lane to catch a pass, immediately struggling with weight on his foot before being helped off the court. Head coach Ty Lue emphasized the seriousness of such an injury during postgame comments, noting that it is "never good" to see non-contact injuries like this one. With Brandon Ingram also recovering from Achilles surgery and unavailable for the start of the season, the Clippers' roster depth has been significantly impacted heading into the regular season.
