San Antonio Spurs Reportedly Interested In NBA All-Star Point Guard

Darius Garland is coming off another extremely productive year with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 2022 NBA All-Star finished the regular season with averages of 18.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 44.6% from the field and 37.1% from the three-point range in 57 games.
This offseason, the Cavs will have a lot of questions to answer about the future of their roster.
Garland has four more years on his contract, but All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell can be a free agent as soon as the summer of 2025.
Recently, Sam Amico of Hoops Wire reported that the San Antonio Spurs are a team with interest in landing Garland.

As for the Spurs, they have missed the NBA playoffs in each of the previous five seasons.
