3 years agoCleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Darius Garland (neck) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's contest against the Suns and he will hold down his usual spot among the starting five. After a brief two-game absence earlier in the year, Garland has seen his minutes and usage skyrocket in the absence of backcourt mate Collin Sexton (knee). Over the past three games in particular, Garland has averaged a whopping 25 shot attempts, with 11.3 of those looks coming from behind the arc. While Phoenix has showcased itself to be a sound defensive unit in the early portion of the year, the 21-year-old's workload has elevated him to a near elite tier.--Jesse Borek
