Darius Garland suffered a terrible fall during the game in Cleveland Cavaliers against New York Knick on Friday night. Garland went to the basket in the second quarter, as Carl-Antoni Town disputes his left arrangement. Garland was knocked out of the air balance, went down hard and appeared to bounce on the court.
Garland stayed on the floor for a few minutes while players, coaches and coaches gathered around him, but eventually got up and fired their free throws. Despite Garland’s protest, it was replaced by Donovan Mitchell. He returned to the game after being checked by coaches.

Garland broke his jaw last season and missed more than a month. It seems that this time he escaped from such fate.
“I’m fine.”

Garland struggled from the floor before its fall, but the cavaliers led a 30-point lead in the fourth quarter, so it didn’t really matter.
Cavs came out of the victory against Nets on Thursday and won eight of nine matches entering the All-Star break. Garland was Cavaliers in the All-Star game.
