If Donovan Mitchell led the game a lot tonight against the Raptors, it’s because Darius Garland was out injured. Initially a simple throw-in, but when catching the ball, the All-Star point guard is touched by Gary Trent Jr. It is believed to be a simple contact, but the Cleveland star is on the ground, KO, and when he gets up, we see that he has a badly damaged left eye.
“At first, I thought he was adding to it, but as he didn’t get up, I realized that something was wrong. It looked like he had just taken a beating.” says Evan Mobley.
As Darius Garland does not get up, the staff joins him but also the players of Cleveland and Toronto, and when he gets up, his eye is closed and he is groggy. He won’t come back into play.
” It’s complicated to see him on the ground after such a strange accident… We don’t know more. We have no info testifies Donovan Mitchell. “But he’s a fighter and a competitor, and he’s going to come back strong. I’m proud of the way we responded. When one guy is down, another raises his level of play.”
The medical staff did not comment on Darius Garland’s injury, awaiting examinations to find out more.
” He came to his senses well, but he was cut and bleeding a lot from the inside of his eyelid. simply specified his coach JB Bickerstaff.
