I had to know too. What does the latest injury report say about Darius Garland. I lie a lot in my articles, so I will link to the proof here too.
Darius Garland is questionable.
Well, questionable doesnāt mean out. Heās had a bit of time to recover. Itās only a toe thing. Do you really need a toe? You got nine more. Just cut that sucker off, right? Probably use anesthetic if youāre doing it, but that stuffās expensive.
But in all likelihood, Darius Garland probably has the money and the connections to acquire anesthetic. Iām not saying he would do anything illicitly or in a way middle America would find distasteful. Iām just saying he probably has a doctor friend or two who does those kinds of medical appraisals one does offhand because they just have the knowledge for it.
I mean, just because theyāre not on the clock doesnāt mean all their doctor knowledge stays in the office. I donāt suddenly lose the ability to write or talk about basketball when Iām not doing this. I never had it in the first place.
Darius Garland isn't the only Cavaliers player who is questionable
Unfortunately, Evan Mobley and DeāAndre Hunter Hunter are also listed as questionable. That is the Defensive Player of the Year in Mobley and perhaps their best fit as a small forward next to their core four in Hunter. Missing all three again would be unideal for a team down two to nothing in a playoff series
And I have to be more of a downer, this is the type of situation you rush back before youāre fully healed. Youāre down 2-0. Thereās no point in trying to save yourself for a more important moment later in the season. The moment is right now. You might not get another chance at this.
āHow you feeling today, Evan?ā
āMuch better.ā
Hampered players, generally, donāt play to their full potential. And hampered players, in overcompensating for their weak spots, often sustain further injury.
The vibes are just not good in Cleveland right now. And theyāre in Ohio to top it off. Just yikes, man.
