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.
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.

Not playing Wednesday
Garland (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis
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.

Another absence coming
Garland (toe) will not play Sunday against Portland.
Analysis
Garland was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right big toe sprain back on Jan. 18 and is expected to be re-evaluated in the near future. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Clippers.

Listed out for Friday
Garland (toe) is out for Friday's game against the Suns.
Analysis
The Cavaliers are expected to re-evaluate Garland's right toe sprain in the imminent future. However, it's unknown if the star guard is joining the team or has a chance to return at any point during their upcoming five-game road trip. Until more light emerges on Garland's status, Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill both are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
