NBA

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland could miss up to one week with a right shoulder sprain, the team announced.

An MRI on Tuesday confirmed the injury after he was held out of Monday night’s game against the Orlando Magic.

Garland is Cleveland’s second-leading scorer at 17.2 points per game and the team leader in assists (6.3) in his second season. Injuries have mounted in Cleveland after starting the team started 3-0 for the second time over the last 20 seasons and the first without LeBron James on the roster since 2000-01.

Dante Exum is also expected to miss 6-8 weeks with a right calf strain, Tuesday’s MRI revealed. Exum’s injury happened in the opening quarter of Monday’s game in Orlando.

Kevin Love aggravated a right calf strain that was initially diagnosed during the preseason during a Dec. 27 home win versus Philadelphia and was set to miss 3-4 weeks. Cleveland is currently 4-3 overall.
