The Cavaliers lead the series 3-0 and can advance to the semifinals with a victory. Garland aggravated his injury in Game 2 and was unable to play in Game 3. Coach Kenny Atkinson noted the challenge of managing pain associated with toe injuries. Garland had strong performances earlier in the series, averaging 24 points in the first two games, highlighting his importance to the team's success.
"I think I've said this: I don't think it's an eight-week thing, I think it's managing pain and the toe's a tough one. You're just constantly hitting it."
"Garland averaged 24 points and a team-best seven assists per game in the first two games of the series."
