The Cleveland Cavaliers got major news on Tuesday when ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that All-Star guard Darius Garland is set to return Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Garland has missed the first seven games due to his recovery from offseason toe surgery, but has been ramping up for the last month to rejoin the Cavs.
Garland enjoyed a resurgent year last season with Cleveland after an injury-filled 2024. He averaged about 21 points per game, and seven assists on 47 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent from 3-point range.
He was the engine of the Cavs’ historic offense last year.
