Darius Garland News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers

Out multiple weeks with broken jaw Garland was diagnosed with a fractured jaw Friday and is expected to miss multiple weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Garland collided with Kristaps Porzingis (calf/rest) during Thursday's loss to Boston but finished the contest with 19 points (8-19 FG) in 36 minutes. Garland missed a four-game stretch early in the season due to a due injury but had been healthy since, averaging 21.0 points, 5.9 assists and 1.6 steals over his last 19 appearances. In Garland's absence, Donovan Mitchell will presumably operate as the No. 1 offensive option whenever he's on the court, but Caris LeVert, Max Strus and Craig Porter are all candidates for increased roles until Garland is cleared to return.

Drops 36 points in loss Garland posted 36 points (11-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 104-94 loss to Orlando.

Impact Garland's 36 points mark a new season best, and this was the second time this season he crossed the 30-point mark. He's been a little disappointing compared to last season, and it's mostly due to some spotty shooting from beyond the arc. He's currently averaging 1.6 triples on 32.6 percent shooting from deep, but in 2022-23, he averaged 2.4 three-pointers on a 41.0 percent clip.

Pickpocket in win Garland recorded 18 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and four steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 111-99 victory over Miami.

Impact Garland's led the team with four steals and was the second leading scorer for the Cavs behind Donovan Mitchell (27 points). Garland entered Friday's game averaging 19.7 points per game and has scored 18-plus points in five of his last six games. His 26 minutes was his lowest since Nov. 25, but prior to Friday's contest he had played at least 34 minutes in five straight games.

Flirts with double-double Garland posted 26 points (10-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and nine assists in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 121-111 victory over the Magic.

Impact During Wednesday's victory, Garland overcame a slow start to finish just one assist short of a double-double. He also avoided turning the ball over, a welcome sight following his eight-turnover effort only a week ago. He has at least seven assists in four of the past five games, rounding into form after a modest start to the season.

Sniffs double-double Garland supplied 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 128-105 win over the Hawks.

Impact Garland finished just two assists away from a double-double, and while his scoring numbers were a tick or two below his usual averages, he took a step back and allowed Donovan Mitchell, who finished with 40 points, to lead the offense in a big way. Garland has now failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances.

Scores 24 points in win Garland registered 24 points (10-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and eight assists across 41 minutes during Sunday's 105-102 win over Toronto.

Impact Garland came into Sunday's game with a questionable tag after a neck strain forced him to leave early Saturday against the Lakers. But the fact that he powered through for 41 minutes Sunday should ease any concerns. Garland has already missed five out of 17 games this season, so hopefully he can stay upright moving forward.

Available Sunday Garland (neck) is available for Sunday's game against Toronto, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

Impact Garland was considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup, but he's been cleared to suit up following pregame warmups. He was limited to 14 minutes of playing time during Saturday's loss to the Lakers since he tweaked his neck, but he had averaged 20.9 points, 5.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 33.9 minutes per game over his previous nine appearances.

Game-time decision Sunday Garland (neck) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Garland sustained an injury to his neck in Cleveland's loss to the Lakers last night and carries a questionable tag ahead of game time. Garland will likely go through pre-game warmups to determine his availability and if he is ultimately unable to go, Craig Porter will likely see an expanded role.

Questionable for Sunday Garland (neck) is questionable to play Sunday against Toronto, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Impact Garland exited Saturday's contest with a neck strain, making his questionable designation positive news overall given the short turnaround in a back-to-back set. If Garland can't suit up Sunday, Craig Porter is a candidate to step up, while Donovan Mitchell has averaged 34.1 points, 6.2 assists and 5.2 rebounds in 13 games without Garland during his Cleveland tenure.

Impact The Cavaliers called Garland doubtful to return when he suffered the injury, but his status was never updated after that. Isaac Okoro started in Garland's place to open the second half, but Craig Porter was more impactful off the bench for Cleveland. Garland should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Doubtful to return Garland is doubtful to return to Saturday's game against the Lakers due to a neck strain, Cayleigh Griffin of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

Impact Garland suffered a neck issue back on Nov. 12, and it appears that he aggravated it again. Barring a surprise, we won't see him again Saturday night and we will have to wait for an update on the severity of the injury. Isaac Okoro started the second half in his place.

Impact Garland missed four games earlier in the campaign due to a hamstring issue and one contest in mid-November with a neck issue, but it appears he's now also dealing with a finger injury. It wasn't enough to warrant a listing on the injury report, but fantasy managers should be aware that Garland may wear a brace for upcoming games. Over his last nine appearances, Garland has averaged 20.9 points and 5.8 assists per game, but on Wednesday, he posted just 14 points and three assists in 27 minutes during a blowout loss to Miami.

Impact Garland didn't have his best shooting display, but that's not really needed when you stuff the stat sheet as the star point guard did Tuesday. Even though his assists numbers are down from previous years, he remains a vital piece on offense for the Cavaliers and is averaging 21.0 points per game while shooting a career-best 47.1 percent from the field through nine contests.

Leading scorer in Friday's win Garland finished with a game-high 28 points (10-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 108-100 victory over the Pistons.

Impact The fifth-year guard took advantage of the absence of Donovan Mitchell (hamstring), producing a season scoring high while leading the Cavaliers to victory. Garland missed Cleveland's last game with a neck issue and has had trouble staying in the lineup himself, missing five of 12 games so far, and he hasn't quite found his form while on the court -- his 30.3 percent shooting from three-point range is more than 10 points below his 2022-23 performance, and well below his career 38.5 percent mark.
