Cleveland Cavaliers All-Stars Evan Mobley and Darius Garland and Reserve De'andre Hunter were excluded for the 2nd game of the Eastern Conference semi-final series against the Indiana Pacers, who visited Tuesday night.
All three can be questioned for the second of the seven best series. The reserve guard Ty Jerome and Forward Dean Wade began on Sunday for the best-seed Cavaliers who left the 1st Game to the Fourth Seed Indiana 121-112.
Garland missed the fourth flat playoff match due to the left foot injury, while Mobley is stripped by a sprained ankle and a sprained right thumb by the hunter. Garland received 27 and 21 points in the first two matches of the playoffs against Miami Heat before the foot injury.
Mobley shone for Cleveland all season, and the team was the first player to win the defender of the year. After a 20 -point and 10 rebound performance in the game 1, Mobley has an average of 17.0 points and 7.2 boards this season.
Meanwhile, Hunter played an important role on the counter for Cavs, which scored 12.6 points per game in playoffs.
Mobley and Hunter were injured in the fourth quarter of the fourth quarter on Sunday. After a strange descended after a Jumper, Mobley went to the rim before he fell hard to fall on the ground because Hunter was shot by Indiana's Bennict Maturin.
Cleveland coach Kenny Atkinson said on Monday.
He added: “But the truth of the issue is on these referees. Maybe it wasn't the kidnapped calls, and maybe I'm misinterpreting the rules, but I have a problem when we suspect two of our best players for the game tomorrow. It's hard for me to keep my head around it.”
