Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Darius Garland underwent surgery on his big toe and will be sidelined four to five months, the team announced Monday.
However, the team also said that Garland would “resume basketball activities by the start of training camp,” which generally begins in late September.
Garland, 25, was plagued with the sprained toe down the stretch of the regular season. He only played in five of the Cavaliers’ nine playoff games. The Cavs lost in five games to the Indiana Pacers in the second round.
Garland earned his second All-Star nod in 2024-25, averaging 20.6 points and 6.7 assists in 75 starts, leading the Cavs to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Garland averaged 18.9 points and 6.7 assists in 382 career games (378 starts) over his six seasons with the Cavaliers, who selected him No. 5 overall in the 2019 draft.
