"The toe problem that sidelined Cleveland guard Darius Garland during the Cavaliers' game in Miami on Monday will prevent him from playing in the rematch between those same two teams on Wednesday. Garland left in the third quarter of Cleveland's 140-138 overtime loss because of the toe issue. It's his surgically repaired left great toe, the Cavaliers said, and that's the same toe that he struggled with through the closing month of the 2024-25 regular season as well as last season's playoffs."
"The Cavaliers have not said how much more time, if any, the two-time All-Star may miss because of the latest toe issue -- which, for now, the team is describing as simply injury management. Garland has played in only three games this season, sitting out the first couple weeks while finishing his recovery from surgery and ramping up into basketball shape."
Darius Garland exited the third quarter of Cleveland's 140-138 overtime loss in Miami because of a toe problem and will not play in the upcoming rematch. The issue involves his surgically repaired left great toe, which also troubled him late in the 2024-25 regular season and during last season's playoffs. The Cavaliers describe the situation as injury management and have not specified additional missed time. Garland has appeared in only three games this season while recovering and ramping up. Cleveland will also rest Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. Miami remains without Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.
