Breaking News: Cleveland Cavaliers' star guard, Darius Garland, is sidelined with a toe injury, leaving fans wondering when he'll return to the court.
According to an announcement made on Sunday, Garland has a Grade 1 sprain in his right big toe. The team anticipates reevaluating his condition in the next 7 to 10 days. This news comes after Garland was forced to leave Wednesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers early, a game the Cavaliers ultimately won with a score of 133-107.
During the third quarter, Garland was injured when the ball was stolen from him. He struggled to get up, and after being helped to the bench, he was seen limping to the locker room. This injury adds to his history of foot problems. Last season, he dealt with turf toe on his left foot, which required surgery and delayed his start to the 2025-26 season.
Before the injury, Garland, a two-time All-Star who will turn 26 this month, was averaging 17.9 points and 6.9 assists in 25 games. In the game he had to leave early, he scored 20 points and had 7 assists in just 23 minutes.
But here's where it gets controversial... Garland's injury history raises questions about his long-term health and the Cavaliers' strategy for managing his playing time. Could this be a recurring issue?
