Cavs’ Darius Garland Exits With Left Toe Injury in OT Loss to Heat

Cleveland says further evaluation will determine his status.

Overview

  • Garland left the road game in Miami after hurting his left toe and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
  • The guard appeared to be hurt on a second-quarter drive, tried to continue in the third, then limped to the locker room.
  • The Cavaliers said he will be evaluated after the game, and the team has not disclosed which toe was affected or the severity.
  • Coach Kenny Atkinson reported no immediate update and said Garland and the medical staff agreed to a brief return before he could not continue.
  • Garland had just returned on Nov. 5 following June surgery on his left great toe; Cleveland fell 140-138 in overtime on Andrew Wiggins’ buzzer dunk and visits Miami again Wednesday.
