Darius Garland is "close" to returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers lineup, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson.

Garland was recently assigned to the G League's Cleveland Charge in order to begin his ramp-up process for a return.

“Today he went through the full shootaround, so we’re getting close here. Really close. ... I think there’s been no setbacks, not even any soreness or anything," said Atkinson.

Garland is recovering from surgery on his left big toe in June.
