Darius Garland Surpasses 2,312 Assists for Cavs

Darius Garland has been making headlines in the NBA, particularly following his performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he recorded 20 points and nine assists in a 134-114 loss. This game allowed him to surpass John Bagley on the Cavaliers' all-time assists leaderboard, positioning him third with over 2,312 assists, trailing only LeBron James and Mark Price. Additionally, Garland was named the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the second time this season after averaging 26.0 points and 7.7 assists over a recent three-game stretch. His shooting efficiency is noteworthy, as he approaches the prestigious 50/40/90 club, a benchmark not reached by a Cavs player since Mark Price in the late 1980s. With 796 three-pointers made in just 344 games, Garland also leads the franchise in this category, highlighting his prolific scoring ability. At only 24 years old, his contributions are pivotal to the Cavaliers' success and their status as contenders in the Eastern Conference.
