Cleveland Cavaliers’ young star Darius Garland has been given the green light to resume on-court activities. The 23-year-old, who plays as a point guard for the franchise in the NBA, has been out of action for more than a month because of a broken jaw.
As per the latest report, Garland, who broke his jaw after colliding with Boston Celtics’ Kristaps Porzingis, has now been allowed to resume on-court activities as he is looking to return to full-time action.
Garland was having a more than impressive season on the court where he is averaging 20.7 points per game. It is the third consecutive season where he is averaging more than 20 points per game.
His best outing in terms of points this season was against the Orlando Magic where he ended up registering 36 points which included six rebounds. Garland is having his best season ever in terms of steals where he is averaging 1.6 steals per game.
Despite being allowed to resume activities on the court, Garland, who was restricted to a liquid diet, is not expected to fully recover before February which means that the Cavaliers will still have to find ways to continue their four-match winning streak without one of their star performers.
