Cavaliers' Darius Garland, Caris LeVert Out vs. Pistons with Back, Foot Injuries

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Darius Garland (lower back soreness) and Caris LeVert (right foot sprain) will miss Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Garland, 22, is enjoying a breakout season for the Cavs, averaging career highs in points (20.3 PPG), assists (8.0 APG) and field-goal percentage (47.7 percent) while shooting a solid 37.8 percent from three.

That earned him an All-Star spot.

LeVert, Cleveland's biggest addition prior to the NBA trade deadline, has averaged 13.3 points and 3.8 assists in his first four games with the Cavaliers.

Garland's continued growth in his third year, alongside the development of Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley's excellent rookie season and a solid supporting cast of veterans, has Cleveland pushing for a playoff berth.
