Pacers vs. Cavs Game 3: Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, De'Andre Hunter game-time decisions

  • The Cleveland Cavaliers trail 0-2 in their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Indiana Pacers, with Game 3 scheduled for May 9 in Indianapolis.
  • The Cavaliers face this deficit while managing injuries to key players Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and De'Andre Hunter, all listed as questionable for Game 3 after missing Game 2.
  • Garland has a sprained left big toe, Mobley a sprained left ankle, and Hunter a dislocated right thumb, with each working through their injuries during Thursday's shootaround before testing their readiness.
  • Donovan Mitchell, playing through a calf strain, scored 48 points in the last game, but the Pacers overcame a 20-point deficit with an 8-0 run to win 120-119 on Haliburton's late three-pointer.
  • Coach Kenny Atkinson expressed full support for Garland's desire to play while acknowledging the frustration caused by injuries, and the Cavaliers hope those players can contribute to avoid series elimination.
