Max Strus, sidelined at Clippers practice, is "feeling a little better," Tyronn Lue said, "But we got to make sure we take our time." Brandon Ingram is doing more on the floor, but "it's going to be a while." Bradley Beal's knee rehab is "going pretty good," but no timetable.
Max Strus limped off on a non-contact play in the opening minutes against the Warriors and will undergo testing. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue gave no diagnosis but sounded worried: "he kind of hobbled off and limped off. So that's never good to see when it's a non-contact play."
Max Strus and Rui Hachimura have picked up Tyronn Lue's system quickest of the Clippers' new players, Lue said at practice, and he is excited to see what he can run for them. Hachimura says roles are settled: "Everybody have roles now... we did a meeting about it too."
From Clippers practice: Tyronn Lue said camp's first five has been Darius Garland, Max Strus, Rui Hachimura, Derrick Jones Jr. and Isaiah Jackson, citing shooting and Jackson's rolling to the rim. Brook Lopez is in the second group: "that's all going to change. So we'll see."
