Darius Garland from Cavaliers is honestly about persistent injuries

After Darius Garland missed four playoff games for over two weeks, he returned to the floor on Friday evening when Cleveland Cavalier's game 3 won against the Indiana Pacers.

The return of DG was a nice thrust for the Cavaliers, but it was clear that Cleveland's all-star point Guard is still not 100 percent health.

Garland spoke to the media after the game and opened about his injury and pain in which he had been.

“You will not understand what I do. I mean, everyone had their opinion. I go out and play basketball. Everyone has nicks and bruises at the time, so go out there to win the series,” said Garland after the victory on Friday.

Garland continued that, even though he had a conditioning to prepare for the game, he does not correspond to the intensity of a playoff game.

Although he was on the pitch, he still didn't look quite like him. He scored only 10 points and shot 27 percent from the ground and 28 percent behind the bow in 24 minutes.

Since it is about game 4 on Sunday, DG said that he is still treating the injury “day by day”, including calm, icing and recovery.

We will see which official status of Garland is coming in game 4.

Although he still returns to his all-star form, the Point Guard in game 3 had a +/- positive 10, which shows how much this Cavaliers team needs on the floor.
