Darius Garland Traded to Clippers Amid Toe Injury, Debut Uncertain

Cavaliers guard Darius Garland has been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, along with a second-round pick, in exchange for James Harden. The 26-year-old point guard has been sidelined since January 14th, missing 10 consecutive games due to a Grade 1 right big toe sprain. His debut with the Clippers is currently uncertain as he continues to recover from the toe injury that has also affected his playoff performance and recent season. Prior to the trade, Garland averaged 18.0 points, 6.9 assists, and 2.4 rebounds in 30.5 minutes over 26 games with Cleveland. The trade is pending medicals.
