Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland has been ruled out of Game 4 against the Miami Heat due to a sprained left great toe. The Cavaliers are currently leading the series 3-0 and if they win this game, they will have a break before the next round of the playoffs begins.

Garland suffered the injury during Game 2 and had to miss Game 3, opting not to play again in the following matchup. Cavaliers’ coach Kenny Atkinson commented on the situation, saying:

“I think it’s not an eight-week thing; it’s about managing the pain since the toe gets hit constantly.”

During the first two games of the series, he averaged 24 points and seven assists. For the entire season, Garland averaged 20.6 points and 6.7 assists, with the Cavaliers holding a strong position whenever he plays.
