Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland will be making his NBA All-Star debut after being selected as a reserve last week.
CLEVELAND — On Thursday the All-Star Draft was held and Garland will be joining a former Cavalier on the roster after being selected by Lakers' LeBron James.
With his second pick from the reserves, James selected Garland, grinning as he could see that Durant wanted him on his roster.Garland is averaging 19.9 points, 8.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season and has helped lead the Cavs near the top of the Eastern Conference, now in the No. 4 spot. His playmaking ability and clutch demeanor in games has been evident to the Cavs and their opponents all season long.
After the results were in, Durant and James were asked if they wanted to make any trades, and Durant said he wanted Garland on his team—but James shut that down immediately.
