Darius Garland returned from a two-plus-week absence Friday night, playing a key role in the series-saving win over the Pacers in Game 3 of the conference semifinals.

Indiana hosts Cleveland in Game 3 on Friday night, but the chances for Garland to play are slim, according to ESPN NBA Insider Brian Windhorst. Speaking on ESPN Cleveland's "5 Good Minutes With Windy" show on Thursday morning, Windhorst shared a gloomy outlook for Garland as the guard recovers from his injury.

“Y’all don’t understand what I’m going through,” Garland said, per Joe Vardon of The Athletic. “I mean, everybody has their opinion. I’m going out there and playing basketball. Everybody has their nicks and bruises around this time. So, going out and trying to win the series."
