Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Scores 20, hands out seven dimes
Garland (toe) amassed 20 points (5-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven assists and two rebounds across 27 minutes during Friday's 120-109 victory over the Pacers.
Making his return from a five-game absence due to a left big toe injury, Garland excelled in a complementary role in the backcourt alongside Donovan Mitchell, who paced Cleveland with 32 points. The 25-year-old point guard has been limited to just four games this season due to that injury, but he's averaging 16.0 points and 6.7 assists per game this season in games where he's logged at least 20 minutes. Expect him to regularly clear 30 minutes in competitive games once he's fully reconditioned.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Officially questionable
Garland (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
It was reported Wednesday that Garland is nearing a return to game action, and the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is yet another sign that he's inching closer.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Closing in on return
Garland (toe) is close to being cleared to play, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Garland will miss his fifth consecutive matchup Wednesday against the Rockets due to left toe injury management, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. When asked for an update on Garland's status before Wednesday's game, head coach Kenny Atkinson stated, "He is close. Really close." Garland's next opportunity to suit up will arrive Friday against the Pacers.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Absence streak to continue
Garland (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
The Cavaliers continue to call it left toe injury management for Garland, who'll miss his fifth straight game. The star guard can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's tilt against the Pacers.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Remaining out vs. Milwaukee
Garland (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Milwaukee.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Ruled out for Saturday
Garland (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup with Memphis.
Saturday will mark the third straight game on the inactive list for Garland, who bruised his surgically-repaired toe during Wednesday's win in Miami, and it's not a great sign that he's getting ruled out 24 hours in advance of tip-off. For now, he should be considered doubtful for Monday's game versus Milwaukee. Expect Lonzo Ball, Craig Porter and Sam Merrill to pick up the slack while Garland is out.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Out again Thursday
Garland (toe) will not play Thursday against Toronto.
Garland is dealing with a left toe contusion and will miss more time. Garland does not have an established timetable for return, but his next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday against Memphis. With Lonzo Ball (rest) sitting the second leg of Cleveland's back-to-back, expect Craig Porter to see the bulk of the minutes as the team's point guard.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Dealing with contusion
Garland sustained a contusion on his left great toe Monday and will be re-evaluated further, the Cavaliers announced Wednesday.
There isn't a ton of clarity from this report, but the fact that the injury is being called a contusion is great news for Cleveland. Garland will receive daily treatment and will continue with his previously established post-surgery management plan. Garland has already been ruled out for Wednesday's game, and it seems like Thursday's game against the Raptors would be wishful thinking.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Won't play vs. Heat
Garland (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
The Cavaliers are holding out Garland for injury management, so it's possible his exit in Monday's game against the Heat was precautionary. The star guard can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game against Toronto. Lonzo Ball and Craig Porter should see a rise in playing time for the depleted Cavs on Wednesday.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Won't return Monday
Garland won't return to Monday's game against the Heat due to a left great toe injury, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Garland exited to the locker room with 5:57 remaining in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly thereafter. He'll finish with 11 points (2-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes. The star point guard underwent surgery on the same toe in June and may have aggravated the injury, which doesn't bode well for his status ahead of Wednesday's rematch against Miami.

Garland logged 20 points (7-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 148-114 win over Washington.
Garland found success from beyond the arc, where he added 12 of his 20 points on the night. He was just as productive as a facilitator, leading the Cavs in assists. Garland was held to just eight points in his season debut Wednesday against Philly, but looked more like himself throughout Friday's clash.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Quiet in regular-season debut
Garland posted eight points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four assists and two rebounds over 26 minutes during the Cavaliers' 132-121 win over the 76ers on Wednesday.
Garland was cleared to make his 2025-26 debut Wednesday after fully recovering from an offseason toe injury. He scored all eight of his points in the first half, though he posted just one assist across 12 minutes over the last two quarters. Garland should see his minutes increase as the season progresses, though he could be held out of back-to-backs while working his way back into game shape.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: To play Wednesday
Garland (toe) will play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers, barring a setback in warmups, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
Garland is officially ready to make his 2025-26 debut after missing the Cavs' first seven games while recovering from an offseason toe surgery. The star point guard will likely reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, which could mean fewer opportunities for players like Lonzo Ball and Jaylon Tyson. Donovan Mitchell will also have less ball-handling duties as a result of Garland's return.

Garland (toe) could make his season debut Wednesday against the 76ers, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Garland, who underwent offseason surgery to repair his big toe, is expected to be upgraded on the official injury report. Whether that's a questionable or a probable tag remains to be seen, but this is a huge boost for the Cavaliers. When Garland gets the green light to return, he will likely have some type of restrictions early on.
