Cleared for Friday
Garland (toe) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Analysis
Garland was held out of Wednesday's matchup against Oklahoma City due to left toe injury management, but he's been given the green light to return Friday. He's averaging 16.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals through three April appearances.

Won't play Wednesday
Garland has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to left toe injury management.
Analysis
Garland will sit out the second half of this back-to-back set, though he'll likely return for Friday's game in Portland. With the 26-year-old point guard out, Jordan Miller and John Collins are candidates to step into the starting five. Kobe Sanders and Kris Dunn could also see increased playing time in Garland's absence.

Posts 22 points
Garland had 22 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 win over Dallas.
Analysis
The Clippers got out to a hot start, with Garland making a solid contribution right away. He quieted down while the Mavericks cut into the Clippers' significant lead, but the rest of the team rallied to put the game out of reach. Garland's most glaring deficiency in recent games is in the assist column. The point guard has amassed only 17 assists over the past four games, well below his seasonal average of 6.7 assists per game.
