It’ll be a game-time decision for three Cleveland Cavaliers players on Friday night.
According to Evan Dammarell, De’Andre Hunter, Evan Mobley, and Darius Garland are all “questionable” for Friday’s must-win game against the Indiana Pacers.
Fans will know more later in the day, but probably not until right before tip-off.
The #Cavs say that De'Andre Hunter (right thumb sprain), Evan Mobley (left ankle sprain), and Darius Garland (left great toe sprain) are all questionable for tomorrow's Game 3 against the Indiana Pacers, and all three will likely be game-time decisions.

It goes without saying that these are three very important players for the Cavaliers.
They all sat out of the last game, and the Cavs were taken down by the Pacers, despite the on-court heroics of Donovan Mitchell.
Fans are terrified that the same thing will happen again, especially since the game will be held in Indiana in front of a rowdy and engaged crowd.
Hunter and Mobley have injuries that aren’t as serious, so there is hope they will be back at some point in this series.
As for Garland, his toe problem seems to be more severe, and he is having a tough time bouncing back from it.
The Cavaliers are down 2-0 in the series, and they need a win because coming back from 3-0 is all but impossible.
This will not be an easy fight, especially since they no longer have home-court advantage.
Fans will be paying close attention to the team throughout Friday in hopes of getting a positive update.
Ideally, they will get at least one of these players back, but they need to be careful because the last thing they want is for a star to return, only to get hurt again or reaggravate their injury.
The clock is ticking, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
