From our Game Preview….
Injuries: No Ben Simmons. Cam Johnson was out last night with an ankle injury and didn’t even travel to Cleveland. Lonnie Walker IV, who missed the game with an illness, remains day-to-day.
Evan Mobley is out indefinitely with a left ankle sprain. Donovan Mitchell is out with a left knee bone bruise. Ty Jerome is out due to right ankle surgery. Max Strus is out with a right knee strain. Tristan Thompson is suspended due to violating the league’s drug policy.
The Game: Cleveland won games one, two, and three. This is the end. So Darius Garland has had a relatively rough year. He missed a lot of time due to a facial fracture and has been working his way back since. Following the injury, he’s averaged around 17 points and seven assists on .430/.380/.857 shooting splits. Garland can still heat up and take over a game, and when the playoffs start, they’re going to need that and more.
