#Cavs have declared Darius Garland (rest) out tonight in Miami on the 11:30a injury report.

Sam Merrill (illness) has been added to the injury report and is questionable.

Along with Garland out... Okoro, Wade, and LeVert still out.

I'm kinda of interested to see how he does.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Tyson and CPJ both looking reasonably good.

Encouraging night for Tyson. Just seeing his activity level out there, despite having a nominal scoring, he looks like someone who could fit well with the starters.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

Was really impressed w Tyson tonight. A lot of it’s the defense and rebounding, but I liked some of the stuff he showed on offense even if he only scored the 4 points. He actually looked like he was synergized within our system.

His floor to be an NBA rotational player is higher than I expected. For him to be a component, just want to see him work on his shooting and finishing around the rim.

I loved the lob to Mobley

Yeah, Tyson flashing good role-player play when Okoro and Wade are out is amazing. Just in time for the trade deadline too, either giving us confidence in our depth or raising his value in a trade.
