Cleveland played last night in Chicago so maybe Wizards can take advantage of some tired legs.
Donovan Mitchell (35) and Caris LeVert (33) were the only Cavs players exceeding 30 minutes in a blowout win. Darius Garland (left eye laceration) is out. – 2:35 PM

#Cavs official injury report for tonight’s home opener against the Wizards:

#Cavs have a motto. J.B. Bickerstaff introduced it at the beginning of last season & players keep repeating it.
“The strength of the team is the team”
On the road. Without Darius Garland. Coming off a hard-fought loss. Cleveland personified that credo

Last season, #Cavs were outscored by 9.3 points per 100 possessions with Darius Garland off the floor. Could not function. At all. Donovan Mitchell has changed that. – 10:04 PM

More on this storyline

Kelsey Russo: #Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff on Darius Garland: “He’s doing better. There’s swelling, so got to wait until the swelling goes down. When you hold his eye open, he can see. So that’s obviously a good thing. But it’s just going to take time, and we just have to wait and see.” -via Twitter @kelseyyrusso / October 23, 2022
Chris Fedor: #Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said yesterday that star guard Darius Garland would “probably” be out tonight against Washington. But added “miracles do happen.” Well, no miracle this Sunday. I’m told Garland is OUT tonight. As I reported yesterday, Friday is the target return date. -via Twitter @ChrisFedor / October 23, 2022
