Darius Garland Fully Recovered to Lead Rebuilding Clippers Backcourt

Two-time All-Star guard Darius Garland is fully recovered from toe and foot ligament injuries that limited him to just 19 games last season, where he averaged 19.9 points and 6.4 assists. Now entering the season with a complete offseason and training camp under his belt, Garland will be relied upon to provide floor leadership for a revamped Los Angeles Clippers squad. Garland expressed optimism about the team's potential to surprise people despite low external expectations.
