Garland Out Friday Due to Toe Sprain & Pending Clippers Debut

Darius Garland has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings due to a Grade 1 big right toe sprain and his recent trade. Acquired by the Clippers on Tuesday in exchange for James Harden, it's uncertain if he'll be available for his team debut against the Timberwolves on Sunday. Garland and Bennedict Mathurin are projected to form the Clippers' starting backcourt once both are cleared to play.
