While Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland is in rampant trade rumors<\/a>, the latest news from Monday is that he had surgery to repair a great toe injury. With the trade rumors around the Cavs guard<\/a> likely to continue, the question of whether Garland will be good to go by training camp has been answered by the team.<\/p>\n

The team would write that the surgery was \u201csuccessful,\u201d and that it will be four to five months for recovery, where it is \u201cexpected\u201d<\/a> that he will be 100 percent to go for training camp.<\/p>\n

As the rumors around the Cavs wanting to trade Garland have been up and down<\/a>, there is no denying that the team sees the point guard as a valuable asset that could be part of their championship puzzle. He would have another productive season, but injuries pained his playoff performances.<\/p>\n

However, he has the support of team president Koby Altman, who spoke highly of him<\/a> at his end-of-season press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can dispel the notion that Darius and Donovan can\u2019t play together,\u201d Altman said. \u201cI do think there\u2019s a level Darius can get to that he hasn\u2019t tapped into yet. His next step is going to be, \u2018How do I get stronger?\u2019 There\u2019s a level he has to get to from a body standpoint, and that\u2019s on all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the rumors, ClutchPoints\u2019 NBA insider reported that Cleveland is looking to run it back<\/a> with the foundation of Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea of sacrificing youth isn\u2019t something that fits Cleveland\u2019s agenda,\u201d Siegel wrote. \u201cMobley and Garland are two players they believe in, and Allen is one of the positive leaders of the team. He is the guy who keeps everyone\u2019s spirits high and has really helped build the internal brotherhood that exists.\u201d<\/p>\n

At any rate, the Cavs look to build off this past season, where they had a 64-18 record, which put them first in the East, though they were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in the semifinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland is in rampant trade rumors, the latest news from Monday is that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":94936,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3772],"tags":[7,306,305,193,3846,791,864,576,1178,11986,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-94935","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-cavaliers","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-cavaliers","10":"tag-cleveland","11":"tag-cleveland-cavaliers","12":"tag-clevelandcavaliers","13":"tag-darius-garland","14":"tag-donovan-mitchell","15":"tag-evan-mobley","16":"tag-jarrett-allen","17":"tag-koby-altman","18":"tag-nba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114673507800663413","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
