Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland is recovering from surgical procedure on his left huge toe. The surgical procedure was accomplished in early June and restoration time was anticipated to take four-to-five months. Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson stated that is one thing that the staff will not rush Garland via.
“It is going to be as much as Darius and the coaching workers led by Steve Spiro,” Atkinson stated, “I do not anticipate him to, and I would like him to take his time with this, and we’re not going to push it. We’re not going to hurry it.”
The timeline, mixed with Cleveland not pushing their start line guard, signifies that Garland may miss the beginning of coaching camp. The Cavaliers are anticipated to open coaching camp in late-September or early October.
Garland lacking time may imply elevated reps for newly acquired backup level guard Lonzo Ball. The Cavs traded Isaac Okoro for Ball this offseason, and the veteran is anticipated to switch Ty Jerome in Cleveland’s rotation.
