Cleveland Cavaliers are welcoming back key players Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and De'Andre Hunter for Game 3 against the Indiana Pacers after these starters missed Game 2 due to injuries. Garland has been out since Game 2 of the first round with a sprained toe but averaged 24 points and 7 assists in his playoff appearances. Mobley and Hunter were injured in Game 1, with Mobley suffering an ankle sprain and Hunter injuring his thumb. Their absence led to a disappointing loss in Game 2, where the Cavs squandered a significant lead.
Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson mentioned that all three playersâGarland, Mobley, and Hunterâwould participate in a pregame workout before confirming their availability for Game 3.
With Garland averaging 24 points and 7 assists on 51% shooting in the playoffs, his return is crucial for the Cavaliers' success moving forward.
The absence of Mobley and Hunter contributed significantly to the Cavaliers' collapse in Game 2, where they lost a 20-point lead to the Pacers.
Despite injuries sidelining key players, the Cavaliers are looking to bounce back in Game 3 with a strong lineup heading into a critical playoff matchup.
