Cleveland Cavaliers superstar guard Darius Garland’s 2025 postseason won’t be remembered for dazzling stats or highlight reels. It’ll be remembered for Garland’s grit and an unwavering commitment to his team despite a painful toe injury that visibly hindered his game and ultimately impacted the Cavs’ Eastern Conference Semifinal loss to the Indiana Pacers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to fight for their season on Tuesday night in Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers. Facing potential elimination, Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and company will need to bring their best game of the series.

The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the playoffs riding high on a dominant 64-18 regular-season record. They made quick work of the Miami Heat in Round 1, sweeping them 4-0 and storming into the second round with momentum and belief.
