Darius Garland has been upgraded to available for Sunday's game.

On Sunday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers are in North Carolina to face off with the Charlotte Hornets.    

For the game, they will have one of their best players in the starting lineup, as Darius Garland has been upgraded to available.   

He missed Friday's 119-115 loss to the Miami Heat in Florida, so the Cavs will have him back after just a one-game absence.
