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.

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.

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.
