#Cavs practiced today here in Chicago — even though coach J.B. Bickerstaff told me they didn’t do much. Darius Garland wasn’t able to participate. He had a bag of ice around his injured right thumb and will undergo treatment throughout the day

#Cavs Darius Garland left with a throbbing, swollen thumb wrapped in ice & frustration in his voice. He’s tired of being beaten up.
“Getting hacked all season. The league taking care of the players, it seems like we’re not doing that as much”

That’s a really bad loss for the #Cavs. Poor defensive effort and a pretty significant question about Darius Garland’s hand now. Bad night all around for them. – 9:20 PM

If you like offense, that half was for you! #Cavs lead Pacers 68-64. Donovan Mitchell (15), Caris LeVert (14) and Darius Garland (12) all in double figures. Cavs shot 56% from the field and made seven 3s. – 8:15 PM

Nesmith races down the floor and scores a layup to close the half. Pacers down 68-64 to the Cavs.
Both teams shooting over 53%. Mitchell/Garland have 27pts combined. Cavs +7 on the board and with 38 points in the paint. – 8:03 PM

Hard to think of many backcourts in the NBA that feature two guys as creative as finishers as the #Cavs have in Mitchell and Garland. – 8:00 PM

More on this storyline
“I told them I need a mask at this point or some goggles or something because it’s getting out of hand,” Garland said. “I’m just tired of getting hit in my face. But I like the aggressive defenses. It’s kind of a statement to me and my game. It’s super cool that people are just trying to tighten up their shoelaces for me.” -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / December 30, 2022
While there was no official diagnosis and further examination is expected, the Cavs left Indiana concerned about a potential absence, sources tell cleveland.com. Now the team that’s in the midst of a three-game losing streak, has already been forced to use 16 different starting lineups in the first 36 games and may not have enough healthy bodies to practice Friday, will hold its breath and hope Garland avoided another significant injury. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / December 30, 2022
“Just versatile,” Durant said of Evan Mobley’s game at the Nets’ shootaround Monday morning. “A lot of guys coming into the league who can do pretty much all things on a court, and he’s one of those guys that can dribble, that can guard, block shots, shoot 3s, finish over the rim. So, he showcased that this summer. Seeing his work ethic up close is something I wanted to see as a fan of the game because you can see the potential if you see a guy work. And he puts in a lot amount of work, and he cares about the game. So it’s a bright future for him here in Cleveland.” “He brought all of it that day,” Durant continued. “I was there with him. It was a fun matchup.” -via The Athletic / December 27, 2022
Mitchell pointed to Mobley’s 3-point shooting as an easy talking point for his growth. But to him, there’s so much more. “His voice, being able to talk, being in position, understanding where to be, being a better passer, on the boards,” Mitchell said. “I think the one thing he’s continuously grown at is trying to continue to muscle up and get through and get through the paint. Obviously, he’s not the world’s strongest man, but he’s continuously improving in the weight room, pre-practice, post-practice, you see a lot of that growth in him.” -via The Athletic / December 27, 2022
Kelsey Russo: #Cavs J.B. Bickerstaff said both Evan Mobley and Lamar Stevens WILL play tonight, “barring something crazy happening.” -via Twitter @kelseyyrusso / December 23, 2022
