According to Shams Charania from The Athletic, Darius Garland suffered a jaw fracture that will keep him sidelined for several weeks.

The 23-year-old guard has been averaging 20.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game this season in 34 minutes on the court.

With 13 wins and 12 losses, the Cavaliers are currently 9th in the Eastern Conference standings.
