Darius Garland’s injury report on the game against Atlanta Hawks (January 30, 2025)
Currently, Cleveland Cavaliers have not officially submitted their NBA injury report, leaving Darius Garland’s status vague. The 24-year-old guard is fighting injuries at various points this season, making his potential absence of a decisive factor in the Cleveland rotation.
If Garland is aside or limited, the evaluation weight will fall heavier for Donovan Mitchell, which will probably have to take on more responsibilities for processing a ball against a team in Atlanta, missing several key players. Max Strus could also see an extended role in starting the crime, while Caris Lever was expected to provide an offensive spark from the bench.

Even if Darius Garland replies, Cleveland Cavaliers will have to be executed at a high level, especially against the Hawks Trakes Guard Young. Young, the NBA assist leader, is officially named as a right -hand knee problem, but there is a constant threat. If Garland plays, he will probably split his time by Strus to protect Young, a match that can determine the flow of the game.
With the disappeared Atlanta Jalen Johnson, Clint Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic, the hawks are short, but still dangerous. The defensive intensity and Cleveland’s ability to control the paint – especially in the fact that Evan marthes the form – will be crucial for the neutralization of the effect of Young.
Beyond the desire of the redemption team, the individual aspirations will also be online. The NBA will announce reserves to All-Star just before Tipoff, and with Garland, Jaret Allen and Mobli in the mix, emotions can appear high depending on selections.
