Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland left Monday night’s 140-138 overtime loss to the Miami Heat early due to a toe injury, sparking fears that he had re-aggravated an injury that had sidelined him for months throughout the offseason.The issue on Monday appeared to stem from a fall Garland took in the second quarter at the Kaseya Center.

He drew another foul off Norman Powell midway through the third quarter, and then immediately started hopping on his right leg. He event...
