Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Listed out for Friday
Rotowire
Garland (toe) is out for Friday's game against the Suns.
The Cavaliers are expected to re-evaluate Garland's right toe sprain in the imminent future. However, it's unknown if the star guard is joining the team or has a chance to return at any point during their upcoming five-game road trip. Until more light emerges on Garland's status, Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill both are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Ruled out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Garland (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Garland will miss a seventh consecutive contest due to a right great toe sprain, though he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. Until the Cavaliers offer an update on the 26-year-old point guard's progress, he should be considered doubtful for future contests. Jaylon Tyson, Tyrese Proctor and Lonzo Ball will likely continue to see increased minutes for as long as Garland is sidelined.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Diagnosed with right toe sprain
Rotowire
Garland will be re-evaluated in the next 7-to-10 days after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 right big toe sprain.
This is a big blow for the Cavaliers, who will be without Garland for at least the next five games and likely longer. The point guard reportedly suffered the injury Jan. 14 against Philadelphia and has already missed one game as a result of the injury. Craig Porter and Jaylon Tyson should be in line for more opportunities until Garland can return.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Likely to miss Friday's game
Rotowire
Head coach Kenny Atkinson said after Wednesday's 133-107 win over the 76ers that Garland is "probably doubtful" for the Cavaliers' next game Friday in Philadelphia, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Garland was on his way to a big performance Wednesday, posting 20 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes before exiting the game with 4:08 left in the third quarter, when he landed hard on the floor while pursuing a loose ball. The Cavaliers later ruled Garland out for the rest of the game with a right foot injury, but neither the team nor Atkinson provided any further details regarding the point guard's longer-term prognosis. On a positive note, the injury isn't to Garland's left foot, which he required offseason surgery on to address a sprained big toe. With Garland in line to miss at least one game and Sam Merrill (hand) also trending toward sitting Friday, the Cavaliers will likely turn to Donovan Mitchell to handle more on-ball responsibilities, and more minutes could be available for the likes of Jaylon Tyson, Craig Porter, Lonzo Ball and Tyrese Proctor.

An update on his status should follow postgame, though it's worth noting the injury affects the opposite foot from the one that required offseason surgery.

The five made three-pointers represented his best showing from long range since Dec. 22.

Rotowire
Garland (hand) has been cleared to play Thursday against the Timberwolves, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Garland was added to the injury report earlier in the day with a right hand contusion, but he was spotted going through his normal warmups about one hour before tipoff and has since been given the green light to play.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Garland is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota with a right hand contusion.
Garland was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's usually not a good sign in fantasy hoops. Garland was terrific Tuesday against Indiana, finishing with 29 points (14-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six assists and two rebounds across 33 minutes. Craig Porter and Lonzo Ball may be asked to step up if Garland is unable to clear this questionable tag.

Garland has still scored in double digits in nine straight games as he looks to put an injury-plagued start to the campaign behind him, averaging 20.0 points, 6.9 assists, 2.8 threes, 2.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals per game over that span.

Garland is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans with a left quadriceps contusion.

Garland contributed 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds and six assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to Chicago.
Garland didn't have a great night shooting the ball, but he has embraced the facilitator role, dishing out at least six assists in his last three games while averaging 6.9 dimes in his past nine appearances. Garland has missed 16 games due to his toe injury, and he has been inefficient with the ball when he is on the court, averaging 15.4 points on just 36.3 percent from the field and 1.9 threes on a meager 29.5 percent clip.

Rotowire
Garland produced 18 points (6-17 FG, 0-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 130-126 win over the Wizards.
Donovan Mitchell stole the show with a 48-point performance Friday, but Garland still found a way to post a decent stat line despite struggling with his shot. The star floor general has been playing regularly in recent weeks but has faced some limitations, although the fact that he's logged over 30 minutes in his last two games bodes well for the future. Garland has scored at least 15 points in four of his past five outings.
