This Garland weight loss thing is a weird thing to fixate on… as it doesn’t seem true?



1. It 4+ months ago
2. It was 12 pounds and he said he gained back 10 by February

“Darius Garland lost 12 lbs after 4 weeks of having his fractured jaw wired (turns out a completely liquid diet consumed via straw, will do that to you).

He’s since gained 10 lbs back.

But more than anything else, he finally got his joy back tonight & THAT was great to see 😊”

    Not all weight is the same though. Typically with this level of athlete you’re losing primarily muscle mass, which is way harder to build up, and harder to functionally return to the game level of performance.
