Lacks clear return timeline
Garland (toe) has no timetable for a return, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Garland's sprained right toe is healed, but he's still recovering from offseason left toe surgery. It 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.

Out at least two more games
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.
Analyse
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.

Not playing Friday
Garland (toe/recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Analyse
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.

Traded to LAC
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.
Analyse
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.

Not playing Wednesday
Garland (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Analyse
Garland will miss a 10th consecutive game Tuesday while recovering from a Grade 1 right big toe sprain. His name has cropped up in trade rumors ahead of Thursday's deadline, but if he were to stay with the Cavaliers, then his next opportunity to play would be Saturday against the Kings.
