Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland is eyeing a return to the court by early November after undergoing toe surgery in June, per NBA insider Brett Siegel. The Cavs will rely on a committee approach with Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson, and Lonzo Ball taking up backcourt duties in his absence. Fantasy managers should prioritize Ball for his all-around contributions, while Merrill is a viable pick for those seeking scoring and three-point production.

Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson stated Monday that Darius Garland is „ahead of schedule” in recovering from toe surgery performed in June. Despite the progress, no specific timeline has been set for his return. Fantasy managers might consider stashing Garland in an IL+ slot due to his potential impact later in the season, while Donovan Mitchell’s role could expand in Garland’s absence, potentially increasing his assists.

Darius Garland is set to join the Cavaliers’ training camp in a limited role as he recovers from toe surgery, according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. Garland’s recovery timeline might sideline him for the first 10-15 games of the regular season. While he is advancing in his rehabilitation, the Cavaliers are focused on gradually improving his conditioning. Sam Merrill is expected to start in Garland’s absence, with Donovan Mitchell taking on the primary point guard responsibilities.
