Cleveland's All-Star guard now faces a 4-5 month recovery timeline, creating a new variable in potential trade negotiations and raising questions about his valuation in a league where availability is becoming as important as ability.

The Cleveland Cavaliers could be down an All-Star player to open next season. Darius Garland, a point guard, enjoyed a successful sixth season in Cleveland.

After being hampered by a toe sprain during playoffs, Cleveland's two-time All-Star Darius Garland has surgery, but should be ready for training camp.

The Cavs announced Darius Garland is expected to make a full recovery from surgery and resume basketball activities by the start of training camp.

A cursory Google search tells me that a "great toe" is just another name for a big toe. That makes sense, and it's what I thought initially anyway. I didn't actually believe that Garland was superhuman and had different anatomy than everyone else ever to walk this floating rock in space. That would be silly and rooted in absolutely zero logic.

Cavaliers guard Darius Garland has undergone surgery on the injured left big toe that hampered him during Cleveland’s exit from the playoffs.
