Darius Garland News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

REPORT: Two Cavaliers Stars No Longer On Minute Restriction After both returned from injury on a minute restriction, Cleveland’s Evan Mobley and Darius Garland will now be back in the team’s rotation...

FEBRUARY 21, 2024 • SACBEE.COM

Minute restriction lifted Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Wednesday that Garland (jaw) is no longer on a minute restriction, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Impact Following a month-and-a-half absence due to a fractured jaw, Garland was eased back into the rotation over Cleveland's final nine games before the All-Star break. He averaged 12.7 points and 6.0 assists in 27.0 minutes per game during that stretch. In the prior two seasons, Garland averaged over 35.0 minutes per game, so fantasy managers can expect that type of playing time during the stretch run.

Will play Wednesday Garland (illness) will play Wednesday against the Bulls, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Garland will shake off a questionable tag and suit up despite being a late addition to the injury report with an illness. Given he's under the weather, Garland may be limited versus Indiana, so daily fantasy players should proceed with caution. After a slow start following a lengthy injury absence, Garland submitted 21 points and nine assists in 31 minutes during a two-point loss to Philadelphia on Monday. Those were his best marks in those categories since December.

Questionable for Wednesday Garland is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to illness.

Impact Garland is a late addition to the injury report which is never a good sign. This is tough luck for the guard, as he was just starting to find his rhythm with 21 points and nine assists against the 76ers on Monday. If he's unable to play, the Cavaliers could turn to Caris LeVert and Craig Porter.

Begins to emerge Garland compiled 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt), nine assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 123-121 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Garland posted his first game with 20-plus points across eight appearances since returning from a broken jaw. He entered Monday's contest limping to 25.0 percent shooting from beyond the arc on 4.0 threes per game over that span, so perhaps his performance will snap his funk from deep.

Quiet in 28 minutes Garland provided 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes during Monday's 136-110 win over the Kings.

Impact The good news for Garland's fantasy managers is that this was his largest workload since Dec. 14, but the bad news is that his production hasn't been ideal. Since returning to the lineup on Jan. 31, Garland holds averages of 10.8 points, 4.8 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers over his last four games.

Cleared for action Garland (knee) will play Monday versus Sacramento.

Impact Garland was dealing with left knee soreness, but he will suit up for his fourth consecutive contest. He has averaged 10.7 points and 4.7 assists on 48.2 percent shooting in three games since returning from a broken jaw.

Questionable with knee soreness Garland is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings with left knee soreness.

Impact This is a new injury for Garland, but it sounds like he's day-to-day. Since his return from a jaw issue on Jan. 31, Garland's minutes have been limited to the 20s. If he's unavailable to play, Caris LeVert, Isaac Okoro and Craig Porter would be candidates for increased roles.

Still on minutes restriction Garland will be limited to 20-24 minutes Saturday at San Antonio, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact After seeing 20 minutes in his first game back from a lengthy absence, Garland's workload jumped to 24 minutes Wednesday. However, he'll remain in the 20-24 minute range against the Spurs.

Scores 19 points in return Garland closed with 19 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 128-121 win over the Pistons.

Impact Garland stepped on the court for the first time since Dec. 14, so he was obviously rusty, but he still posted a decent stat line while being limited to just 20 minutes following a 19-game absence. The biggest news out of this was that he ended the game unscathed, so Garland should be available to feature in the second half of the back-to-back set Thursday against Memphis.

Starting Wednesday Garland (jaw) will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Pistons.

Impact Garland is back after spending 19 games on the sidelines, and his return to the first unit will result in Isaac Okoro heading back to the bench. Head coach JB Bickerstaff said that Garland will be limited to 20-24 minutes Wednesday night, so he's not the best target in daily fantasy leagues. However, he's safe to activate in all season-long formats.

Present at shootaround Garland (jaw), who is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, was present for the Cavaliers' morning shootaround, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.

Impact Garland recently said that he planned to return to action Wednesday against Detroit, so his presence at shootaround in a starter's practice jersey wasn't particularly surprising. He's missed the last 19 games due to his jaw injury and wasn't able to do strenuous physical activity before it fully healed, so he'll likely face a minutes restriction if he's officially cleared to suit up.

Plans to return Wednesday Garland (jaw) plans to return Wednesday against the Pistons, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Garland hasn't played since Dec. 14 and missed a 19th straight game Monday versus the Clippers, but coach J.B. Bickerstaff said before the win over Los Angeles that the point guard was "extremely close" to suiting up again. Garland wasn't able to do anything physically strenuous before the injury fully healed, so it's safe to presume he'll have his minutes monitored closely if he's cleared to play. Evan Mobley (knee) made his return from a 22-game absence Monday, falling one board short of a double-double in 21 minutes, so the Cavaliers are nearing full strength with the trade deadline looming.
