Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star Darius Garland could make his season debut as soon as Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers , sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Garland has been sidelined since June when he underwent surgery to repair a left big toe injury that troubled him throughout last year's playoffs. He has been ramping up in recent weeks by going through training camp with the Cavs G-League team and he has practiced with the Cavs this week.

Cleveland coach Kenny Atkinson has said repeatedly over the past week that Garland is "close" to making his debut.
