Darius Garland is finally back at practice.
Garland returned for his first full-contact practice with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday since he sustained a serious left eye injury last month. Garland, who missed their last five games, is now questionable for their matchup with the Boston Celtics. Garland left Cleveland’s season opener last month after Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. accidentally poked him in his left eye while trying to deflect an incoming pass. Garland fell to the court after Trent made contact, and then needed help walking back to the locker room. He hasn’t played since. Thankfully, Garland avoided any structural damage and did not need surgery. He has been sitting on Cleveland’s bench wearing dark glasses, and has tried using protective goggles — though he didn’t wear them on Tuesday. And, though it’s been limited, Bickerstaff feels he’s been plenty involved during his time on the sideline. Garland averaged a career-high 21.7 points and 8.6 assists last season while earning his first All-Star nod. The 22-year-old is in the final year of a four-year, $29 million deal. The Cavaliers, after losing their season opener, have won five straight games without Garland headed into Wednesday night.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
