All-Star point guard Darius Garland has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday’s contest in Miami after sustaining a left toe injury. He will be reevaluated after the game, the Cavaliers announced (Twitter link via Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com).
According to Fedor (Twitter links), Garland came up limping in both the first and second half. While the 25-year-old was able to shake off the discomfort the first time around, he took an intentional foul to leave the game in the second half and went straight back to the locker room.
It’s a worrisome development for the Cavaliers, as Garland just made his season debut last Wednesday after working his way back from offseason surgery on his left big toe. It’s unclear if Garland’s latest injury is on the same toe.
