Garland has spent his entire five-year career with the Cavs.

The talented point guard made the NBA All-Star Game in 2022.

He has helped the Cavs make the NBA playoffs in each of the previous two seasons, and they are coming off a year where they reached Game 5 of the second round (before losing to the Boston Celtics).
