Garland isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Warriors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Clippers will be monitoring Garland's minutes closely in his first game action since Jan. 14, and the fact that he's being utilized off the bench will make it a bit easier for the team to manage his workload. Kris Dunn will remain in the starting lineup for the time being, though Garland should eventually transition to the starting point guard spot once he's completed his ramp-up period.

Garland (toe), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Pelicans, will be available for Monday's game against the Warriors, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garland, who has not played since Jan. 14 due to left toe injury management and a right great toe sprain, is set to make his Clippers debut Monday. Before being traded, Garland averaged 18.0 points, 6.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 30.5 minutes per contest across 26 regular-season appearances for the Cavaliers this season. Garland figures to see some sort of minutes restriction given the amount of time he has missed, but it should be mentioned that the team will be playing the second half of a back-to-back set, so the point guard could end up seeing a sizable role in his return.

Garland (toe), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, intends to make his Clippers debut against the Warriors on Monday, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garland hasn't played since Jan. 14 due to left toe injury management and a right great toe sprain. However, he's set to make his Clippers debut Monday after being traded from Cleveland to Los Angeles on Feb. 3. Over 26 regular-season appearances with the Cavaliers prior to the trade, he averaged 18.0 points, 6.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 30.5 minutes per contest.

Garland (toe) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garland again practiced in full for the Clippers on Saturday, but a target date for his return has yet to be determined. It's possible he could play Monday against the Warriors, but the Clippers have been proceeding with caution.

Garland (toe) participated in a 5-on-5 scrimmage Wednesday, Janis Carr of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garland will also go through another scrimmage Thursday, but he's not going to be cleared to play against the Timberwolves. A return against the Pelicans on March 1 could be on the table if Garland continues to progress, so fantasy managers may not have to wait much longer to see him debut for the Clippers.

Garland (toe) is considered week-to-week, Law Murray of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murray adds that Garland likely won't see the floor until March at the earliest. It's clear that the Clippers are going to be cautious with their new point guard, but Murray said the team definitely expects him to return this season. Garland was injured to start the campaign, appearing in only eight of Cleveland's first 24 games. He returned to action in early December, playing in 18 straight contests, but has been sidelined since Jan. 16 after suffering another injury.

Garland (toe) has no timetable for a return, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garland's sprained right toe is healed, but he's still recovering from offseason left toe surgery. It's sounds like the Clippers are erring on the side of caution ahead of the All-Star break, so it appears safe to rule out the star guard for Tuesday's game against the Rockets and Wednesday's rematch versus Houston, barring any changes to his status. Kris Dunn, Bennedict Mathurin and Jordan Miller should help pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Garland (toe/recently traded), who has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings, won't play in Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garland's next chance to make his Clippers debut comes Tuesday against the Rockets. However, Linn notes that the star guard is still working on his recovery from a right toe sprain, which further complicates Garland's timeline for a return. Until he's ready to go, Kris Dunn, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller should each continue to handle a sizable workload.

Garland (toe/recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Garland was acquired by the Clippers on Tuesday in exchange for James Harden. The former has been also been recovering from a Grade 1 big right toe sprain, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be available to make his Clippers debut against the Timberwolves on Sunday.

The Cavaliers traded Garland (toe) and a second-round pick to the Clippers in exchange for James Harden (personal) on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After spending the first seven-plus years of his career in Cleveland, Garland is set to join the Clippers. The 26-year-old point guard hasn't played since Jan. 14 due to a right great toe sprain, so it's unclear when he'll be available to make his Clippers debut. Over 26 regular-season appearances with the Cavaliers this season, he averaged 18.0 points, 6.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 45.1 percent from the field in 30.5 minutes per contest.
