Darius Garland does not have a clear timeline for his Los Angeles Clippers debut as he continues to recover from a toe injury.
Fantasy Impact
Garland was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right great toe sprain a few weeks ago and has yet to return. He was acquired earlier this week from the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for James Harden, and it remains unclear when he'll make his Clippers debut. Garland has already been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Sacramento Kings and Sunday’s matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves, with his next chance to play coming Tuesday against the Houston Rockets.
Darius Garland has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers for James Harden. The Cavs included a second round pick in the deal for Harden.
Fantasy Impact
It’s a big move for the Cavs as they look to improve their starting lineup. One of the key factors in the trade is Harden has been available this year, compared to Garland who has been in and out with injury. Garland has indeed missed time this season and in previous ones, but it’s not been totally abnormal. Whatever the reason, Garland should be one of their primary ball handlers when on the court and a solid fantasy asset.
