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 committed a foul and checked out of the game with 5:57 remaining in the third quarter. If the star point guard is unable to return, Sam Merrill, Lonzo Ball and Jaylon Tyson are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Off injury report for Monday
Garland (toe) isn't listed on the Cavaliers' injury report for Monday's game against the Heat.
After sitting out the second leg of the team's back-to-back set in Saturday's win over Chicago, Garland will return to action Monday. Over two regular-season appearances thus far, the star point guard has averaged 14.0 points and 6.5 assists in 27.0 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Won't play Saturday
Garland (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Flirts with double-double
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.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Officially questionable
Garland (toe) is officially questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Garland has a chance to make his season debut following offseason toe surgery. If the star guard is available, his return would likely cut into the playing time of Lonzo Ball significantly. Garland may have a minutes restriction if he suits up.

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.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Remaining out vs. Atlanta
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.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Assigned to G League
The Cavaliers assigned Garland (toe) to the G League's Cleveland Charge on Monday.
Garland continues to work his way back from left toe surgery in June, and this move provides him an opportunity for practice reps as he nears a return for the Cavaliers. The 25-year-old averaged 20.6 points, 6.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 75 regular-season games last season and figures to be a central piece of Cleveland's offense once healthy.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Goes through scrimmage Tuesday
Garland (toe) participated in a scrimmage with contact Tuesday, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
Garland is still on the mend after undergoing toe surgery in June. Although the Cavaliers have been encouraged by Garland's recent progress, head coach Kenny Atkinson cautioned that his return is not imminent. "It's not linear, usually, the return to performance, and we're hoping it will be and he'll progress," Atkinson said. "But I side on the side of being conservative and making sure. This is a good step today. A small step but a good step." The Cavaliers are likely to provide another update on Garland's timetable in the near future, but for now, fantasy managers can assume that he will miss a handful of games to open the regular season.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Goes through light workout Tuesday
Garland (toe) went through a light individual workout after Tuesday's shootaround, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
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.
