CLEVELAND \u2014 Cavaliers All-Star Darius Garland could make his season debut Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers after missing the first seven games of the season recovering from offseason toe surgery, three league sources told The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Garland, 25, a two-time All-Star point guard, underwent surgery in June to repair the injury to his left big toe that forced him out of four playoff games last spring. He has been able to participate in basketball activities for more than a month and has ramped up his workouts and practice time over the last two weeks.<\/p>\n

Barring any last-minute setbacks from practice Monday, Garland would join a lineup that has also been missing starting small forward Max Strus (foot surgery) and center Jarrett Allen (broken finger). The Cavs are 4-3 this season after beginning the previous campaign with 15 straight wins.<\/p>\n

Garland averaged 20.6 points and 6.7 assists last year, but was hampered throughout the playoffs by an unspecified toe injury that not only forced him out of games in the first and second rounds, but hobbled him significantly when he was able to take the court.<\/p>\n
