Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Unsurprisingly, the Clippers have decided to rest Garland in the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with 13 points with six assists across 29 minutes of action on Wednesday. He figures to be back in the mix for Saturday's game. The expectation is that Kobe Sanders will likely move into the starting five, while Kris Dunn sees an increased workload as well. Dunn is the more consistent fantasy option between the two, even with Sanders likely starting.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) will not play on Thursday, as his team finishes a back-to-back set against the Pelicans in New Orleans. Garland played 29 minutes in the team's loss on Wednesday, but only had 13 points to go with six assists. While he is out for injury maintenance on Thursday, Kris Dunn and Jordan Miller will carry more work in the backcourt, while Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will be more the focal point of the offense if he's able to play through a questionable tag of his own. Garland's next chance to return will be Saturday in Dallas.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Darius Garland (toe) will suit up for Wednesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report before being cleared to play. Garland will probably be back on the injury report on Thursday when the Clippers complete a back-to-back set with another home game against New Orleans. On Wednesday night, Garland will aim to post a second consecutive double-double in a favorable matchup. He finished Monday's loss to San Antonio with 25 points, two rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Darius Garland (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The former Cavalier produced a 25-point, 10-assist double-double in Monday's loss to San Antonio, but he continues to manage a toe injury and appears likely to sit out one game during the team's upcoming back-to-back set. Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is also questionable for Wednesday's game, and Bennedict Mathurin (toe) is out, so the rest of the group may need to step up on the offensive end. John Collins, Derrick Jones Jr., and Kris Dunn could all get extra touches.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) is out for Friday's game against the Bulls for injury management in the first leg of a back-to-back. Kobe Sanders is expected to move into the starting lineup, while Kris Dunn could also see added ballhandling duties. Dunn produced five points, two rebounds, six assists, and four steals in 24 minutes during his last start and offers short-term streaming appeal for assists and defensive stats. Sanders remains a deeper league flier after playing just six minutes last game, while Kawhi Leonard could take on more offensive responsibility.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Darius Garland will join the starting lineup on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The two-time All-Star came off the bench in his first two appearances for the team. With him now in the first unit, it's possible Garland has been cleared to play more than the 23.5 minutes he has so far averaged in L.A. Kobe Sanders will make room for him in the starting lineup. Even as a starter, Sanders hasn't been particularly productive, and moving to the bench will only reduce his chances to contribute.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Darius Garland (toe) will play on Saturday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is still recovering from a toe injury, and the team decided to keep him out of the lineup on Friday for the first leg of a back-to-back against San Antonio. Garland has averaged 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 23.0 minutes across his first two appearances as a Clipper. He has come off the bench both times occasions. With Garland returning, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller may have their minutes reduced.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Darius Garland (toe) has been listed as out for Friday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. Garland returned from a seven-week absence on Monday against the Golden State Warriors, and he won't be utilized during the first leg of a back-to-back on Friday night to prevent overworking him so soon after his toe injury. We will likely see him back on the court against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday. With Garland out, Kawhi Leonard and Kris Dunn will take on additional playmaking duties. Meanwhile, Bennedict Mathurin and Kobe Sanders could see more time on the floor.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) is expected to make his team debut Monday against Golden State after being sidelined since Jan. 14. The All-Star guard, acquired at the trade deadline, is returning from toe issues that kept him out for several weeks. In 26 games prior to the move, he averaged 18.0 points, 6.9 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in 30.5 minutes. Garland's return should give the offense a steady playmaker next to Kawhi Leonard and likely trim Kris Dunn's role while reducing Bennedict Mathurin's on-ball opportunities. Garland profiles as a must-start in standard leagues if his minutes are not heavily restricted.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Darius Garland (toe) is considered week-to-week and continues practicing on a limited basis while managing his surgically repaired left foot, according to Law Murray of The Athletic. The team expects him to return this season, but a debut is unlikely before March. Garland carries a 28.6 usage rate when active, so his absence keeps Kris Dunn entrenched as the starting point guard while Kawhi Leonard maintains primary offensive control with a 34.8 usage rate. Bennedict Mathurin and Kobe Sanders carry value in deeper formats, though both profile as fringe options. Garland remains a firm hold in all competitive leagues.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Darius Garland (toe) doesn't have a return timeline, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Garland has been dealing with toe injuries this season and still hasn't fully recovered from offseason left toe surgery. "We're gonna get it right and take as long as it takes," Clippers president Lawrence Frank said on Monday. Once healthy, Garland is set to form a new-look backcourt for the Clippers with Bennedict Mathurin. Kris Dunn will continue to start at point guard until Garland returns. He has averaged 8.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 5.2 assists across February.

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Darius Garland (toe) won't be ready to make his team debut on Friday against the Sacramento Kings. Garland has landed in L.A. nursing a toe injury, and it remains uncertain when he will be available for action. With Garland out of the mix, Kris Dunn and Kobe Sanders have more fantasy appeal, but the two are hard to trust due to their inconsistent performances. After a couple of strong outings, Sanders produced a four-point dud as a starter in Wednesday's loss to Cleveland. Meanwhile, Dunn has been limited to 5.3 points, 5.0 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game over his last four appearances.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, along with a second-round pick, in exchange for guard James Harden. Garland's name popped up in rumors over the weekend after the Cavaliers acquired Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis from the Sacramento Kings. The connection to the Clippers happened late Monday night when news of Harden's trade request came to light. Garland is averaging 18.8 PPG and 6.9 APG. He should be able to fill the facilitator role well in Los Angeles, though Clippers fans may need to wait to see him debut. He's dealing with a toe injury that's forced him to miss the last nine games for Cleveland. With his return still undetermined, Los Angeles may not see Garland suit up until after the All-Star break.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) will not play Sunday against Portland as he continues to recover from a Grade 1 right big toe sprain and awaits re-evaluation. His absence keeps Donovan Mitchell in a usage-heavy role and continues to open minutes for Jaylon Tyson, who has averaged 16.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists over his last five starts. Lonzo Ball has struggled with efficiency and remains unreliable. Cleveland is still integrating newly acquired Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder, leaving Tyson as the most stable short-term fantasy option.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) will miss Friday's game against Phoenix as he continues to recover from a right toe sprain, with his status for the upcoming road trip still uncertain. His absence has elevated Jaylon Tyson into a steady starting role, and he has responded with 16.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists across his last five games, making him a strong short-term add. Sam Merrill is still ramping up but profiles as a viable standard-league option as his minutes stabilize, especially with Evan Mobley (calf) sidelined for multiple weeks. Garland remains a clear hold.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (toe) will miss a seventh consecutive game on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was back at practice on Monday, but Wednesday's game comes too soon for Garland to be ready to play. However, he could be available later in the week as the team plans to re-evaluate Garland soon. During Garland's absence, both Donovan Mitchell and Jaylon Tyson have stepped up as playmakers, while Lonzo Ball's workload has increased.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) will be re-evaluated in seven to 10 days after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 big-toe sprain. The injury isn't to the same toe that forced him to miss the start of the 2025 campaign. However, it's unknown how long it will keep him off the floor. The 25-year-old is averaging 18.0 points, 6.9 assists, and 36.0% shooting from behind the arc this season. While Garland is out of commission, Donovan Mitchell should take over most of the ball-handling duties, with Craig Porter Jr. and Jaylon Tyson in line for enhanced roles.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (foot) is listed as out for Friday's rematch with Philadelphia. He had 20 points when these clubs met on Wednesday. However, his night ended abruptly due to a right toe injury. Fortunately, it's not the same toe that Garland had surgery on during the offseason. For now, fantasy managers can consider the 25-year-old as day-to-day. As far as his absence on Friday is concerned, Jaylon Tyson, averaging 13.3 points, 5.5 boards, and 1.0 steals in 22 starts this season, is the favorite to replace him in the rotation, with Craig Porter Jr. in line for more minutes and scoring opportunities.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (foot) missed the end of Wednesday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers due to injury, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Garland hurt his right foot during the third quarter. Despite his early exit, Garland finished the game as one of Cleveland's top scorers. He had 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting, adding seven assists and grabbing three rebounds. If Garland misses additional time, Donovan Mitchell will have an increased role as a playmaker, while Craig Porter Jr. and Lonzo Ball are expected to see their minutes rise.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (hand) is officially cleared to suit up for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Garland was a late addition to the injury report due to a right-hand contusion. It doesn't appear to be serious enough to force Garland to miss any action. Garland finished with 29 points, six assists, and two rebounds during Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This hand injury didn't seem to impact him during that game, so fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about. Garland is safe to start in all fantasy formats ahead of Thursday's contest.
