Max Strus, will you accept this rose?
That’s what “Bachelorette” Jenn Tran wants to know, as the star of Season 21 of the long-running dating franchise revealed Thursday she’s crushing on the Cleveland Cavaliers wing following her broken engagement to contestant Devin Strader.
“Max Strus, if you’re out there and you’re single, I’m here and ready,” the New Jersey native, 26, said on “The Viall Files” podcast, according to TMZ.
Tran previously expressed interest in Celtics star Jayson Tatum but switched her pick after learning of his romance with musician Ella Mae from the podcast’s co-hosts.
Elsewhere on the show, which is hosted by “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” alum Nick Viall, Tran explained she’s focusing on herself as she gets over her messy breakup with Strader, who accepted her proposal in the Season 21 finale that aired earlier this month.
The physician’s assistant student alleged Strader broke up with her over the phone.
Earlier this week, Strader accused Tran of lying about the breakup and shared texts between the two.
Tran first appeared on Season 23 of “The Bachelor” last fall and was named the lead of this year’s “Bachelorette” in March.
She and Strus follow one another on Instagram as of Thursday.
An undrafted free agent out of DePaul in 2019, the 6-foot-5 Strus began his NBA career with the Bulls that same year.
He signed with the Heat a year later and spent three seasons in Miami.
Strus just wrapped his first season with the Cavaliers, averaging 12.2 points per game, 4.8 rebounds and four assists.
The Cavaliers open the 2024-25 NBA season on the road against Toronto on Thursday, Oct. 23.
