When Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland missed the final two games of the first-round series against the Miami Heat, many expected him to return when the team faced the Pacers. However, Garland's toe injury has proven more severe than initially anticipated.

Stephen A. Smith is urging Darius Garland to return from his toe injury as the Cavaliers face a 0-2 deficit against the Pacers. Garland has missed four playoff games, and Smith believes his presence is crucial.

Mobley, a first-time All-Star and the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year, suffered his ankle injury late in Sunday's loss. Mobley jumped for a hook shot with Myles Turner defending him in the fourth quarter. Mobley hit the shot but landed on Turner's left foot and rolled his left ankle.
