When Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland missed the final two games of the first-round series against the Miami Heat, many expected him to return when the team faced the Pacers. However, Garland's toe injury has proven more severe than initially anticipated.

In a Wednesday rant on First Take, Smith called out Garland for not playing through his injury as the Cavaliers' season slowly spins down the drain. Cleveland is already down 0-2 in its second-round series to the Indiana Pacers, with the matchup shifting to Indianapolis on Friday night.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without three significant pieces in Game 2 of their second-round series against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night. Evan Mobley, Darius Garland and De'Andre Hunter are all listed as out for Cleveland, the No. 1 seed in the East that is already down 1-0 in the series after losing Game 1 at home on Sunday.
