On Monday, June 9, ESPN’s Shams Charania announced Darius Garland will miss four to five months. Cleveland’s starting PG had surgery on his big toe and will miss the start of the 2025-26 season.
With that news, Joe Vardon of The Athletic reported that the Cavs feel pressured to re-sign backup PG Ty Jerome. He was valuable in 2024-25 as Cleveland’s sixth man. However, the Cavaliers will enter the second tax apron next season. Re-signing Jerome would push the Cavs well beyond their second round if they do not part ways with anyone else.
