  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Poor shooting display Tuesday

    Garland had 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

    Garland is in line for a rough matchup in this series, as he'll have to deal with two excellent defenders in Jrue Holiday and Derrick White, so his Game 1 display is not entirely surprising. He didn't have his best performances in the first-round series against the Magic either, and he's averaging just 14.8 points and 5.4 assists per game through eight playoff appearances. In fact, Garland has failed to surpass the 15-point mark in six of his eight playoff outings, a clear downgrade after averaging 18.0 points per contest during the regular season.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Stuffs stat sheet in Game 7 win

    Garland finished with 12 points (3-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 106-94 victory over the Magic in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Garland struggled badly from the floor and finished with more field-goal attempts than points scored. However, the speedy point guard salvaged his fantasy performance by delivering decent numbers in other categories. The Cavaliers need Garland to play a more prominent role on offense during the Eastern Conference Semifinals matchup against the Celtics, as he averaged only 14.9 points per game while shooting 44.9 percent from the floor in the first round.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Modest production again

    Garland accumulated 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block over 32 minutes during Saturday's 112-89 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Garland has yet to score more than 15 points through four postseason games and has shot only 41.9 percent from the field during that stretch. Following back-to-back losses in Orlando to even the series, Cleveland needs more offensive production out of its point guard if the team is going to advance to the next round. During the regular season, Garland averaged 18.0 points on 44.6 percent shooting, including 37.1 percent from deep.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Leads from deep in Game 2 win

    Garland posted 15 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes in Cleveland's 96-86 win over Orlando in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.

    Garland had a strong showing from deep in Cleveland's second straight victory to begin the series, connecting on a team-high mark from three while handing out a team-high-tying assist total and ending as one of four Cavaliers with 15 or more points. Garland has provided a nice boost for Cleveland through two games in the first round, posting at least 14 points, four assists and three rebounds in two straight outings.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Healthy to start postseason

    Garland (back) isn't listed on the Cavaliers' injury report for Game 1 of the first-round series against the Magic on Saturday.

    Garland missed the regular-season finale to rest a low back contusion but should be full go to start the postseason. Over his last five appearances, the dynamic guard has averaged 20.2 points, 6.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 steals in 35.0 minutes per game.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Officially out

    Garland (back) will not play in Sunday's game against the Hornets, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

    No surprise here, as Garland was deemed doubtful heading into Sunday. He will now set his sights on getting his health back up to par before Cleveland's playoff bid tips off. In his absence, Craig Porter will start at point guard.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Doubtful for Sunday

    Garland is doubtful for Sunday's game against Charlotte with a lower back contusion.

    With the playoffs looming, it appears the Cavaliers will give Garland the night off. Additionally, the Cavaliers have already ruled out Donovan Mitchell (knee) for this contest.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Quiet in victory Friday

    Garland amassed 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 129-120 win over the Pacers.

    Garland was noticeably passive in the win, attempting just 11 field goals en route to 16 points. Although he has been able to increase his production over the past two weeks, the same cannot be said for the season as a whole. Given how disappointing he has been, there is a good chance he is available at a nice discount next season, especially if he can take on a larger responsibility on the offensive end.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Scores 26 points in loss

    Garland recorded 26 points (11-25 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and five steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 116-97 loss to the Lakers.

    Garland snapped an eight-game streak without reaching the 20-point mark, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Cavaliers to victory against a Lakers team firing on all cylinders on offense. Garland has reached the 20-point mark only 18 times this season, a drastic drop compared to a 2022-23 campaign in which he achieved this feat 39 times.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Will play Friday

    Garland (ankle) is available and starting in Friday's game against the 76ers.

    Garland was deemed probable for Friday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him available. He's posted double-doubles in his last two appearances and has averaged 15.4 points, 7.6 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 33.6 minutes per game over his last five outings.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Likely to play against Philadelphia

    Garland is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the 76ers due to a right ankle sprain.

    Garland hasn't missed a game since Jan. 27 and isn't expected to do so Friday despite dealing with a right ankle sprain. With Donovan Mitchell (nose) questionable, the Cavaliers could start their optimal backcourt against Philadelphia.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Season-high 12 dimes vs. Charlotte

    Garland notched 14 points (5-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 118-111 loss to the Hornets.

    Although Garland struggled with his shot Wednesday, he managed to dish out a season-high 12 assists, six of which were to Jarrett Allen. Garland has ran the Cavaliers' offense with Donovan Mitchell (nose) sidelined, but that has come at the expense of his shot, as the former is shooting 37.7 percent from the field (including 24.5 percent from three on 7.6 3PA/G) over his last seven games. Mitchell could return Friday vs. the 76ers, which should give Garland more open looks on offense.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Double-double in Monday's win

    Garland notched 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 115-92 victory over Charlotte.

    It's the fourth double-double of the season for the fifth-year guard, with three of them coming in March as he continues to handle primary distribution duties while Donovan Mitchell (nose) has been sidelined. Through 14 games on the month, Garland has averaged 19.4 points, 6.6 assists, 3.4 threes, 3.2 boards and 0.9 steals, and he should continue to carry the load in the Cavaliers' backcourt straight into April with Mitchell still lacking a clear timeline for his return.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Poor effort Sunday

    Garland finished Sunday's 121-84 loss to the Heat with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes.

    The Cavaliers have been struggling badly on offense without Donovan Mitchell (nose), but Sunday's performance was a new low for them, as they failed to reach the 90-point plateau in a game where most of the starters logged limited minuted. Such was the case with Garland, as the coaching staff probably decided to rest him in a game that looked like a blowout early on. Garland should be in line to handle his regular workload against the Hornets on Monday.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Struggles from field Friday

    Garland had 19 points (8-21 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and four assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 104-91 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Garland had a rough shooting performance Friday and ended with more field-goal attempts than points scored, as the Cavaliers once again struggled on offense without Donovan Mitchell (nose). Garland has been doing what he can to provide a lift on offense, but the fact that he has scored under 20 points in three of his last four outings isn't exactly helpful. Garland will aim to bounce back in a tough matchup against the Heat on Sunday.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Cools off against Rockets

    Garland posted 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 117-103 loss to the Rockets.

    Garland has been playing some of his best basketball lately but struggled against the Rockets on Saturday. He missed five of his six three-point attempts and his streak of five assists or more in a game ended at seven. Over his last five games, Garland has averaged 23.4 points on 51.9 percent shooting (including 45.2 percent from three on 8.4 attempts), 3.6 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.0 steals over 34.8 minutes per game.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Big double-double against Pels

    Garland racked up a team-high 27 points (10-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 116-95 win over the Pelicans.

    Donovan Mitchell returned from a seven-game absence Wednesday, but it was Garland who still carried the offensive load in the Cavs' backcourt. It was the third double-double of the season for Garland, all three of which have come since the All-Star break. Over 13 games during that stretch, the fifth-year guard is averaging 20.8 points, 7.2 assists, 4.1 threes, 2.8 boards and 1.2 steals while shooting 46.5 percent from beyond the arc, but once Mitchell gets back up to speed, Garland's usage will tick back down.

  • Cavaliers' Darius Garland: Not on injury report

    Garland (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's game against New Orleans.

    Garland carries no injury designation in advance of Wednesday's game. He rolled his ankle in Monday's loss to Phoenix but returned to the contest after limping off the court for a brief spell. The 24-year-old should be at full strength for Wednesday's contest.
