Darius Garland To Be "Game-Time Decision" Against The Heat

The Cleveland Cavaliers are coming off a hard-fought, gritty performance against the Miami Heat which resulted in a victory for the good guys.

The Cavs are in the middle of one of the more unique parts of their schedule and they'll play the Heat again on Friday night. However, they may be without one of their star players.

Cleveland's starting point guard, Darius Garland, to a shot to his quad in the second half of Monday's game. Even though he stayed in, it was clearly affecting him as he ran up and down the court.

DG was officially listed as QUESTIONABLE leading up to the game and did not take part in the team's shoot-around in the afternoon. But the team hasn't ruled him out just yet. Reports indicate that Garland will be a game-time decision they evaluate the situation.

Missing Garland would be a big blow to the Cavs as he's averaging 22 points and almost eight assists a night. The floor general is also one of the team's best three-point shooters.

On Wednesday night against the Heat, DG led the way for the Cavs with 25 points and even grabbed two steals as well.

If Garland is out on Friday night, Ricky Rubio and Raul Neto will be next in line to get big minutes.
