MIAMI (AP) — Cleveland's Darius Garland is having toe issues again.
The Cavaliers' two-time All-Star guard left his team's game in Miami during the third quarter on Monday night with a toe injury on his left foot. It was not immediately clear if it was an aggravation of the same injury that forced him to have surgery in June.
“I haven't gotten an update yet,” Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said after Cleveland's 140-138 overtime loss. “Obviously, he couldn't continue. Took a fall there and tried to come back. We'll get an update here soon.”
Garland talked with the team about the toe at halftime and decided to try to keep playing. He played 6:03 of the third quarter, then left and didn't return.
Garland began dealing with the toe injury in March, sat out four playoff games and was ineffective when he did come back for Cleveland's final three games of its second-round loss to Indiana.
He missed Cleveland's first seven games this season while ramping up toward a return, then averaged 14 points in his first two appearances against Philadelphia and Washington. He had 11 points on 2-for-9 shooting in 19 minutes against the Heat on Monday.
“At the end of the day, hey, there’s going to be setbacks. There’s going to be things that happen, right?" Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell said after the game. "It’s not about him not working. ... He’s been in the gym. He’s been working on himself. Hey, this is this is all part of the progress. And progress isn’t linear, right? You're going to have to be able to have moments like this.”

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s military said Friday that intense fighting in southern Lebanon killed four soldiers.
The military identified one of the dead, a lieutenant colonel, and said the three others would be identified later.
Lebanon’s state-run news agency says at least 16 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the south overnight.
The attacks came as planned talks in Switzerland between Iran and the United States over their efforts to reach a permanent end to the Iran war were delayed.
Al-Mayadeen, a pan-Arab satellite channel that is politically allied with Hezbollah, reported that Iran was delaying sending its delegation to Switzerland over ongoing Israel’s military campaign in Lebanon.
Israel maintains it must continue to hold the territory and have a free hand to battle Hezbollah as it has been launching attacks into northern Israel.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s military said Friday its forces struck targets throughout southern Lebanon overnight as Hezbollah reported intense fighting in the area, threatening the nascent agreement between Iran and the United States to end their war.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported at least 16 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes, which the Israeli military said were ongoing.
Continued fighting in Lebanon could unravel the newly signed deal, which calls for an immediate halt to military operations “on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” where Israel has been battling the Iran-backed Hezbollah militant group, and for ensuring Lebanon’s “territorial integrity and sovereignty.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces elections later this year, has refused to withdraw, saying Israeli forces will remain in Lebanon until the threat from Hezbollah has been eliminated.
The attacks came as planned talks in Switzerland between Iran and the United States over their efforts to reach a permanent end to the Iran war were delayed.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Thursday put off his trip to Switzerland where he had been set to lead the talks. The White House blamed logistical issues, but the announcement came after a report from Al-Mayadeen, a pan-Arab satellite channel that is politically allied to Hezbollah, that Iran was delaying sending its delegation to Switzerland over Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Lebanon.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed the initial pact with Iran on Wednesday while dining with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles, which took immediate effect.
In comments following the signing, Vance offered a blunt warning to Israel, saying Trump was “the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.”
