Garland became the subject of trade rumors in the offseason after a broken jaw and death of his grandmother derailed his season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, with a 49-10 record, face the Portland Trail Blazers on March 2. Key player Darius Garland, leading with 21.3 points per game, is confirmed to play. Donovan Mitchell is resting.

The Cleveland Cavs' core four had been healthy for the vast majority of this season, but Darius Garland sat out Sunday. Kenny Atkinson gave an update.

Riding high on a seven-game winning streak, the Cavs could be without Darius Garland on the road against the Magic.

Despite last offseason’s speculation that Darius Garland and the Cavs might part ways following their second-round playoff loss to Boston, that was never a serious option—for either side.
