Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland is recovering from surgical procedure on his left large toe. The surgical procedure was executed in early June and restoration time was anticipated to take four-to-five months. Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson mentioned that is one thing that the workforce will not rush Garland by way of.
“It may be as much as Darius and the coaching employees led by Steve Spiro,” Atkinson mentioned, “I do not anticipate him to, and I need 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 place to begin guard, signifies that Garland might miss the beginning of coaching camp. The Cavaliers are anticipated to open coaching camp in late-September or early October.
Garland lacking time might 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.
