Cavaliers guard Darius Garland had surgery Monday on the injured left big toe that hampered him during Cleveland’s exit from the playoffs.
The Cavaliers said the procedure was performed by Dr. Nicholas Strasser at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, in consultation with team physician Dr. James Rosneck and Dr. Bob Anderson.
The All-Star guard missed the final two games of the regular season and four games during the playoffs with the injury, which was described as a sprain.
“Definitely wasn’t myself. It was pretty uncomfortable but trying to do everything to win the game. It was frustrating because I wasn’t 100 percent,” Garland said after the Cavaliers lost to the Indiana Pacers in five games in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Garland is expected to spend 4 to 5 months going through a progression of treatment and rehabilitation before resuming basketball activities by the start of training camp.
Garland averaged 20.6 points and 6.7 assists during the regular season to help the Cavs finish atop the Eastern Conference. In just five playoff games, he dropped to 18 points and 5.2 assists per game, and while Cleveland won the two games against the Miami Heat that Garland sat out due to his toe, he also missed two of the four games that the Cavs dropped to the Pacers in the conference semifinals.

Western Kentucky vs. Sam Houston prediction, pick, spread, football game odds, where to watch, TV, stream
College football is back and with it comes the return of Conference USA action. Two of the league's top returning programs face off Saturday in an intriguing Week 0 class between Western Kentucky and Sam Houston. Western Kentucky is looking to make it back to the C-USA Championship Game for a second consecutive season after finishing the 2024 regular season with a 6-2 mark in league play. That record included a Week 8 win against Sam Houston. The Bearkats, meanwhile, are looking to build off of a breakout 10-3 campaign. It was a complete 180-degree turn for Sam Houston, which went 3-9 in 2023. That's impressive progress for a program that is just three years removed from its transition from the FCS to the FBS level. The Bearkats won nine games in the regular season -- more than Western Kentucky -- and finished […]
