Will Darius Garland play Evan Mabley?

The coach of Cleveland, Kenny Atkinson, stayed in the Cagey on Tuesday afternoon when he discussed the availability of all-stars Darius Garland (toe) and Evan Mabley (Knöchel) and the key bench player de'andre Hündre (reduced thumb) in the semi-finals against the Eastern Conference on Tuesday evening.

Atkinson said that in his availability before the game everyone had remained questionable, although none of them, according to Dustin Dopirak from Indystar, took part in the Cavs shootout.

Indiana has a lead with a 1-0 series after 121:11: 112 victory on Sunday and was able to return to the short traders 2-0 against Indianapolis.

Garland missed the last two games of the Miami series and game 1 against the Pacers with a bricked toe toe. Mobley, the defender of the year, and Hunter played in game 1, but took up injuries in the second half. Hunter triggered his thumb when Bennedict Mathurin met him on the edge to block a layup attempt, and Hunter fell hard on the floor. The Cavs challenged the piece and claimed that Hunter was fouled, but the evaluation confirmed the original no-call. Kenny Atkinson, Cleveland coach, said Mobley was injured when Myles gymnasts strived for a shot and Mobley did not land enough.

“I don't think they were dirty games, but I think there has been a number of physicality,” Atkinson told reporters on Monday. “This line that we talked about, where it was exaggerated. So No. 1 was the non-ancestral on De'andres Layup, which I do not know. Everyone in the world just looks at this piece and they checked it, and I'm just shocked. I didn't shock anymore. And I think I have to know the rules better.

“And then Evan cannot remember around the same time whether it was before or after, Turner denies his 2-point shot, is clearly among him. And shooters need space for landing and is brought out of balance in the way of their opinion and his ankle is quite bad.
