Since Darius Garland sprained his right toe 11 days ago, Donovan Mitchell has put a lot of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ burden on his shoulders. Opponents, however, are taking their chances with anyone else handling the ball, constantly double-teaming him when he has it and denying him touches without it. Over the weekend, ClutchPoints asked Cavs […]

For the first time since the team officially announced Darius Garland’s right toe sprain, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell addressed his backcourt partner’s ill-timed setback and how the team will have to respond. “It’s tough, man, to be in and out and continue to work,” Mitchell said after the team’s 136-104 blowout loss to the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers announced Sunday that Darius Garland has suffered a Grade 1 right toe sprain, meaning that he will miss action for at least the next week.

The Cleveland Cavaliers played their most complete game of the season, blowing out the Philadelphia 76ers on the road 133-107, but two players couldn’t cross the finish line on Wednesday. Darius Garland injured his right foot, while Sam Merrill reaggravated an injury on his right hand, meaning the Cavs will likely be shorthanded in the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers anticipated Darius Garland to play a big role versus the Philadelphia 76ers next to Donovan Mitchell. But Garland exited early in the road contest on Wednesday. Garland slid for a loose basketball for the potential rebound, then grimaced in pain. He exited with a right foot injury while his Cavs were up […]

Donovan Mitchell’s start on Saturday was fast, but as the game went on, the Cleveland Cavaliers showed that they don’t have to rely on their six-time All-Star. It was Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, Sam Merrill, and Jaylon Tyson who did the job as Mitchell picked his spots in the Cavs’ bounce-back 146-134 win […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are on the road Thursday to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in a home-and-home series. Darius Garland is listed as questionable on the injury report with a right hand contusion, while Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable for right foot injury maintenance. Cavs veteran Larry Nance Jr. has a chance to play […]

With no Donovan Mitchell to save them, the Cleveland Cavaliers needed a heroic effort from somebody else as they trailed by nine points to the Indiana Pacers going into the fourth quarter on Tuesday. His fellow All-Star backcourt partner Darius Garland came to the rescue this time, scoring 14 points on a perfect 7-of-7 from […]

Coming off back-to-back quality wins over the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns, the Cleveland Cavaliers are finding success through feeding Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. As the wheels have started to turn for the team over the last two weeks, Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson is advising Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell to prioritize […]

Just when it’s looking like the Minnesota Timberwolves have begun to figure it out, they fall back into old habits. Carrying a four-game winning streak into Christmas made it seem as though the Timberwolves were going to establish themselves as a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference, especially when that streak included a huge win […]

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson expressed extreme disappointment after his team suffered a 117-100 loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday. That final score was generous, as the Cavs trailed by as many as 31 points in the fourth quarter and barely showed a pulse in their follow-up to a promising week of basketball. […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have not nearly been as good this season as they were the previous campaign. In fact, the decline has been steep. Following the Cavs’ disappointing 126-124 Christmas Day defeat to the New York Knicks, Cleveland is now the owner of a disappointing 17-15 record. For reference, the Cavs lost all of 18 […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been searching for consistency this season, and were trying to add to their current win streak as they faced off against the New York Knicks as one of the NBA’s slate of Christmas Day games. During the Cavs’ game against the Knicks, Darius Garland saw his teammate Donovan Mitchell streaking to […]

Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Darius Garland is getting back on track on the court, and a significant part of that has to do with the improvement of his toe injury. Coming off Monday’s 27-point, 10-assist performance in the team’s win over the Charlotte Hornets, he told reporters after the game that he’s planning on suiting […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers got back in the win column on Monday night with a 139-132 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. It snapped a three-game losing streak and showed what this group is capable of, which was needed. However, one victory over a team they should beat, especially at home, doesn’t mean everything is fixed. Despite […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are flatlining. While the expectations for them weren’t very high in the aftermath of their second-round playoff flameout against the Indiana Pacers, them being a .500 team around the one-third mark of the season felt very much impossible. But the Cavs, following a 136-125 loss to the Chicago Bulls that marks their […]

The 2025 Cleveland Cavaliers have a winning record this year, but have looked inconsistent. They have talent, but they are stuck with their roster at the moment due to how much money is owed to their best players. That has hamstrung them in trying to improve their roster and has not allowed for roster flexibility. […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ most crippling characteristic of the season has been their inconsistencies. Whether it’s effort-related, focus-related, or conditioning-related, the Cavs have a less-than-stellar 15-12 record in mid-December. On the other hand, Cleveland has plenty of time to figure things out, and advanced statistics suggest that the team has both a top-10 offense and defense […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ season has been so out of whack that even their home-court advantage is seeing slippage. After falling to a depleted Charlotte Hornets squad on Sunday, the Cavs’ record at Rocket Arena dropped to 9-7 among a cascade of boos. “I was a fan once. I’d boo us, too,” Cleveland All-Star guard Donovan […]

With two clunker performances in the last three days, after what was described as a reset week consisting of multiple practice days, the Cleveland Cavaliers are going through it right now. That should not take away from Darius Garland’s willingness to grit his teeth and overcome obvious pain and discomfort in his toe to be […]

When the Cleveland Cavaliers began their “reset” week with an uncomfortable film session, everybody, to a man, took accountability for their shortcomings. However, according to Darius Garland’s assessment of the study, Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson targeted the top of the roster to set an example. “Everybody needs that. He started with his ‘best players’ […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to take one step forward and two steps back. Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland wasted little time pinpointing the most maddening characteristic of the Cavs after their disheartening 99-94 loss to a Golden State Warriors team that was down nine players. “We get down, and then we start playing,” Mitchell said […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night to continue their homestand at Rocket Arena. Darius Garland is listed as out on the injury report to manage his left great toe, meaning he will miss his 15th game for the wine and gold already this season. Five additional Cavs will miss […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been on the struggle bus of late, continuing with a brutal home loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday evening.

Several other Cavs will not be available […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers got Darius Garland and Jaylon Tyson back for the first time since November 10 in Miami, and each’s presence was felt on the court and even on the bench. The Cavs beat the Indiana Pacers 120-109 with a more recognizable-looking attack. A sight for sore eyes offensively. Combining for 34 points, 10 […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to host the Indiana Pacers in a Friday night NBA Cup clash.

Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen are among the Cavs listed on the injury report, […]

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson shared updates on Darius Garland and Jaylon Tyson on Wednesday before the team’s meeting with the Houston Rockets. They were quite encouraging. Garland is “itching” to come back and isn’t too far away. “He’s had contact,” Atkinson said in his pregame press conference. “He’s played 3-on-3, 4-on-4, a little […]
