Cleveland Cavaliers star Darius Garland underwent surgery to repair a great toe injury and will miss 4-5 months as he recovers from the procedure, the team announced. The expectation is that Garland will make a full recovery and return to basketball activities by the start of training camp.

Darius Garland‘s future continues to be a discussion point for Cleveland Cavaliers fans and the media. The franchise sees the All-Star guard as expendable if it looks to improve the current rotation in search of a championship.

The Cavs’ offseason, which began months earlier than anyone in the organization imagined, is well underway. With roster-related uncertainty, salary cap limitations and mirror tests, this summer could shape Cleveland’s future and determine whether it can truly take the next step.
