Tue Apr 29 00:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Cavaliers’ Garland Questionable for Potential Series-Clinching Game 4

**CLEVELAND, OH** – The Cleveland Cavaliers face a potential Game 4 dilemma as star point guard Darius Garland is listed as questionable due to a left great toe sprain. Garland missed Game 3, a Cavaliers victory over the Miami Heat, and his availability for Monday’s pivotal matchup remains uncertain. The injury is the same one that sidelined him in two regular season games.

Despite Garland’s absence, the Cavaliers managed to dominate the Heat in Game 3, showcasing their depth and talent advantage. However, analysts caution that this success might not be replicable throughout the playoffs without a fully healthy Garland. A first-round sweep would provide valuable rest time for the injured guard ahead of the next round. The Cavaliers’ second-round opponent will be the winner of the Milwaukee Bucks-Indiana Pacers series, with Game 7 scheduled for May 4th.

The Cavaliers are otherwise healthy, while the Heat continue to be without Kevin Love (personal reasons) and Terry Rozier (ankle injury). While the team is confident in its ability to advance even without Garland, his return to full health is considered crucial for a deep playoff run, especially considering a potential Eastern Conference Finals clash with the Boston Celtics.
