Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Remaining out vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Garland (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Evan Dammarell of DownEuclid.com reports.
Garland has yet to suit up this season as he recovers from left toe surgery he underwent in June. However, the star guard was assigned to the G League earlier this week to get extra reps in during practice, suggesting he may be nearing a return to game action. Still, he can be considered doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against Philadelphia until the Cavaliers provide another update on his status.

Garland is still on the mend after undergoing toe surgery in June.

While it's encouraging to see Garland on the floor in some capacity, his activity Tuesday doesn't seem to indicate a significant change in his recovery from offseason toe surgery. The star guard remains likely to miss at least the first handful of games to open the regular season. Lonzo Ball will likely start at point guard for Opening Night, and Cleveland's offense should run through Donovan Mitchell in the early going.
