"Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland will participate in limited basketball activities during training camp, and is still expected to miss at least the first month of the regular season. Garland had surgery on his injured big toe that hampered him during the playoffs in early June. Cleveland had the best record in the Eastern Conference last season but was eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in five games in the conference semifinals."
""He focused on the things that we've been talking about for a long time, which is weight room strength. He looks good. He's stronger, more stout and has a great attitude. I think his mental is in the right place," Altman said. "The biggest thing is how do we start to ramp him up from a conditioning standpoint? That's not something that can happen in two weeks.""
Darius Garland will engage only in limited basketball activities during training camp and is expected to miss at least the first month of the regular season after surgery on an injured big toe. The toe injury hampered him during the playoffs. Garland averaged 20.6 points and 6.7 assists in the regular season and missed multiple games with turf toe. Cleveland finished with the best Eastern Conference record but lost to Indiana in the conference semifinals. The team has lineup options with Donovan Mitchell, Sam Merrill and newly acquired Lonzo Ball, while Max Strus is expected out two months after foot surgery.
