Luckily, Cleveland received some good news on the injury front for the first time in weeks. Head coach Kenny Atkinson gave his usual practice press conference on Thursday afternoon where he revealed that Garland practiced for the first time since his injury.

MIAMI (AP) — All-Star guard Darius Garland was ruled out by the Cleveland Cavaliers for Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round series Saturday against the Miami Heat because of a sprained left big toe.

Garland returned from a two-plus-week absence Friday night, playing a key role in Cleveland’s series-saving 126-104 win over the Indiana Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
