Clippers President Announces Darius Garland Injury Update After Cavs Trade

Los Angeles Clippers coach Ty Lue expressed excitement about having Darius Garland and implementing a new offensive system with the two-time All-Star at point guard. The question, however, is when he will be able to roll it out.

Garland, whom the Clippers acquired from the Cleveland Cavaliers in a blockbuster trade that sent James Harden the other way, hasn’t played a game since Jan. 14. The guard is dealing with a toe injury and has spent the past month recovering.

Clippers president Lawrence Frank said Garland has “basically recovered” from the right toe sprain he suffered last month, but that wasn’t the end of his update. The new Clippers player may still spend more time on the sidelines.

Garland is also dealing with soreness in his left toe, which previously underwent surgery. Frank emphasized that the team will be cautious with him.
