Garland (toe) is considered week-to-week, Law Murray of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
Murray adds that Garland likely won't see the floor until March at the earliest. It's clear that the Clippers are going to be cautious with their new point guard, but Murray said the team definitely expects him to return this season. Garland was injured to start the campaign, appearing in only eight of Cleveland's first 24 games. He returned to action in early December, playing in 18 straight contests, but has been sidelined since Jan. 16 after suffering another injury.

Clippers' Darius Garland: Lacks clear return timeline
Rotowire
Garland (toe) has no timetable for a return, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Garland's sprained right toe is healed, but he's still recovering from offseason left toe surgery. It sounds like the Clippers are erring on the side of caution ahead of the All-Star break, so it appears safe to rule out the star guard for Tuesday's game against the Rockets and Wednesday's rematch versus Houston, barring any changes to his status. Kris Dunn, Bennedict Mathurin and Jordan Miller should help pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Clippers' Darius Garland: Out at least two more games
Rotowire
Garland (toe/recently traded), who has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings, won't play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Garland's next chance to make his Clippers debut comes Tuesday against the Rockets. However, Linn notes that the star guard is still working on his recovery from a right toe sprain, which further complicates Garland's timeline for a return. Until he's ready to go, Kris Dunn, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller should each continue to handle a sizable workload.

Clippers' Darius Garland: Traded to LAC
Rotowire
The Cavaliers traded Garland (toe) and a second-round pick to the Clippers in exchange for James Harden (personal) on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After spending the first seven-plus years of his career in Cleveland, Garland is set to join the Clippers. The 26-year-old point guard hasn't played since Jan. 14 due to a right great toe sprain, so it's unclear when he'll be available to make his Clippers debut. Over 26 regular-season appearances with the Cavaliers this season, he averaged 18.0 points, 6.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 45.1 percent from the field in 30.5 minutes per contest.

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.

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.

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 (illness) posted 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and one assist over 24 minutes during Saturday's 117-100 loss to the Rockets.
The 25-year-old guard was dealing with a bug Saturday, and it showed in his final line as he set season lows in both boards and assists. 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.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Garland is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans with a left quadriceps contusion.
Garland is at risk of missing the second leg of Cleveland's back-to-back. With Lonzo Ball resting Tuesday, Sam Merrill could be worth streaming in shallow fantasy leagues and Craig Porter in deeper settings.
