Indiana hosts Cleveland in Game 3 on Friday night, but the chances for Garland to play are slim, according to ESPN NBA Insider Brian Windhorst. Speaking on ESPN Cleveland's "5 Good Minutes With Windy" show on Thursday morning, Windhorst shared a gloomy outlook for Garland as the guard recovers from his injury.

In a Wednesday rant on First Take, Smith called out Garland for not playing through his injury as the Cavaliers' season slowly spins down the drain. Cleveland is already down 0-2 in its second-round series to the Indiana Pacers, with the matchup shifting to Indianapolis on Friday night.

The Cavs conducted a shootaround prior to leaving for Indiana Thursday afternoon. Darius Garland, De’Andre Hunter and Evan Mobley took part.
