The biggest swing factor in what the Cleveland Cavaliers prove themselves capable of in 2025-26 will be the health of Darius Garland. That is why many will be discouraged in what Chris Fedor had to say about the situation behind the scenes.
The Cavaliers insider referenced a conversation he had with Kenny Atkinson on the Wine and Gold Talk podcast. When Fedor asked if Cleveland's head coach was 'anticipating Darius being ready for training camp,' the answer was no.
Atkinson told the Cavaliers reporter that these decisions are not up to him. They are up to Garland and the training staff.
