The Cleveland Cavaliers have announced that key player Darius Garland will not participate in Saturday\u2019s Game 3 against the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n

Garland suffered a setback with his toe injury during the Cavaliers’ win in Game 2 earlier this week. Despite hopes from the medical team that he might recover in time after a pregame workout attempt, Garland was ultimately unable to proceed with the warm-up due to his injury.<\/p>\n

The team is optimistic that the rest days on Saturday and Sunday will allow Garland to potentially play in Game 4 on Monday. This upcoming game could potentially end the series if the Cavaliers secure a victory in Game 3.<\/p>\n

This season, Garland has played in 75 regular season games, averaging 20.6 points and 6.7 assists with a shooting accuracy of 47.2%. In the ongoing Eastern Conference first round series against the Heat, Garland has made 16 of 31 shots, averaging 24.0 points and 7.0 assists over the first two games.<\/p>\n
