MIAMI -- Darius Garland will get at least a couple more days off, after the Cleveland Cavaliers ruled the All-Star guard out of Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first-round series against the Miami Heat on Monday night.
Garland is dealing with a sprained left great toe.
The Cavs entered Monday with a 3-0 series lead. Game 5, if necessary, would be at Cleveland on Wednesday. If Cleveland wins Game 4, it would be off until a home series-opener in the Eastern Conference semifinals against Indiana or Milwaukee -- and that matchup wouldn't start until Saturday at the earliest.
