Darius Garland missed the final two games of the Cleveland Cavaliers' sweep of the Miami Heat in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The All-Star point guard suffered a toe injury that kept him out for half of the series and, unfortunately for Cleveland, carried over into the second round; Garland was declared out shortly before tip of Game 1 against the Indiana Pacers.
However, Garland himself felt good enough to give TNT's Jared Greenberg a personal update on his status. He told the sideline reporter he feels "confident" about returning for Game 2.
