Listed as questionable Garland (eye) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact Garland was a full participant during Tuesday's practice and is listed as questionable for the first time since suffering an eye injury during the season opener. The fourth-year guard posted 21.7 points and 8.6 assists last year and was named an All-Star, but he may see his overall production drop playing alongside Donovan Mitchell.

Fully practices Tuesday Garland (eye) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Spencer Davies of BasketballNews.com reports.
Impact Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after Tuesday's practice that Garland's status for Wednesday's game in Boston remains unclear, but it appears like the All-Star point guard is nearing a return to game action. Garland only shared the backcourt with Donovan Mitchell for one quarter before leaving the season opener with an eye injury that's sidelined him since, but the Cavaliers are still off to a 5-1 start. Garland posted season highs in points (21.7) and assists (8.6) last year, but his overall production may dip playing alongside Mitchell.

Ruled out Sunday Garland (eye) will miss Sunday's tilt with the Knicks, Danny Cunningham of 1500 ESPN Twin Cities reports.
Impact Garland will miss his sixth consecutive game after suffering an eye injury in the season opener. However, Garland has shown signs of recovery and will hopefully be making a return to the court soon. His absence has allowed for Donovan Mitchell to handle more ballhandling duties while Dean Wade and Cedi Osman continue to receive extra run.

Sunday's status up in the air Head Coach JB Bickerstaff is "unsure" if Garland (eye) will play on Sunday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Officially out Wednesday Garland (eye) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Magic.
Impact As expected, Garland won't play Wednesday despite participating in some on-court activities during Tuesday's practice. Per Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, the All-Star guard has always been targeting Friday's matchup against the Celtics as a possible return date, but his absence could extend through the weekend. In Garland's absence, Caris LeVert has operated as a starter, but Donovan Mitchell continues to lead Cleveland's offense as the primary playmaker.

Not expected to play Wednesday Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Garland (eye) isn't expected to play Wednesday against Orlando, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Garland was inadvertently hit by Gary Trent during the season opener and has been sidelined since due to an eye injury. Per Dammarell, the dynamic guard returned to some on-court activities Tuesday, so it appears Garland could return to game action as soon as Friday, though Cleveland will likely exercise the utmost caution with its All-Star.

Out versus Washington Garland (eye) will not suit up for the Cavs' home opener against the Wizards on Sunday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Garland has been dealing with this eye injury since the first game of the season after Gary Trent inadvertently hit him. His absence Sunday is another tough blow for fantasy managers since Garland is one of the Cavaliers' most potent offensive weapons, racking up points and assists. In the meantime, expect Donovan Mitchell and Caris LeVert to benefit the most as Cleveland's primary backcourt options.

Hoping for Friday return Garland (eye) is targeting a return Friday against the Celtics, but there's a possibility the absence extends into the weekend, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact This is a tough blow for fantasy managers out of the gate, as Garland played just 13 minutes in the opener before suffering an eye injury. Given the timetable for his return, he's probably not viable in most weekly lineup leagues for Week 2. In his absence, Isaac Okoro got the start Saturday against the Bulls, but Caris LeVert and Donovan Mitchell should benefit the most from a usage perspective.

Impact Garland suffered the injury, which did not require surgery, in Wednesday's season opener after a collision with Gary Trent.
