Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland will miss several weeks of action after suffering a fractured jaw in Thursday night’s loss to the Celtics, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported Friday.
The injury occurred when the Garland’s collided head-first with Boston center Kristaps Porzingis. The 23-year-old left the game initially but was able to return later and finish the contest as the Cavaliers fell to the Celtics for the second straight game.
Garland has dealt with injuries throughout his four-year pro career, as the guard has yet to play 70 games in a single season. The team confirmed the news shortly after Charania’s report.
