The Cleveland Cavaliers had a historic offense in their 64-win season last year. They had the best offensive rating in the NBA at 121.0, and a big reason for that was the bounce back season that Darius Garland had.
Garland had an injury-riddled 2024, but he was able to turn the page last year. The Cavaliers guard became an All-Star for the second time in his career, averaging nearly 21 points per game, and seven assists.
Garland didn’t have the postseason showing he wanted to. He injured his toe against the Miami Heat in the first round, and hobbled his way through the second around against the Indiana Pacers.
