The new era of the Cleveland Cavaliers backcourt got off to a rough start on Wednesday.
Point guard Darius Garland got poked in the eye against the Toronto Raptors. He was helped to the locker room and ruled out of the game with what appears to be an eye injury.
The injury occurred late in the first half. Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. inadvertently poked Garland in his left eye while trying to disrupt an incoming pass. Garland crumpled to the court and needed help walking to the Cleveland locker room.
