Avoids structural damage Garland will not require surgery after being inadvertently hit in in the eye in Wednesday's game, Evan Dammarell of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Garland was able to avoid structural damage following the incident with Raptors guard Gary Trent that knocked him out of Wednesday's contest. Although no timeline for a return has been given, Garland will be re-evaluated in the coming days. His next chance to suit up will be Saturday in a matchup with the Bulls.

Doesn't practice Thursday Garland (eye) did not practice Thursday, Sam Amico of FortyEightMinutes.com reports.

Impact Garland's eye is swollen shut. He was inadvertently hit in the left eye during Wednesday's season opener against the Raptors, limiting the point guard to four points, three assists, two steals, one block and one rebound in 13 minutes. Cleveland has some time off before Saturday's game at Chicago, but Garland's availability is undoubtedly in question.

Won't return Wednesday Garland (eye) has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game versus the Raptors, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Garland was inadvertently hit by Gary Trent in the left eye during the first half of Wednesday's game. Garland will be evaluated by team doctors, and fantasy managers will have to wait for an official injury report to know the fourth-year guard's timeline. Raul Neto is set to take over at point guard in the meantime.
