Cavs' Garland resting for Wednesday's game against Kings

Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Darius Garland will not play in the game against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. This decision comes as part of the team's focus on health as they prepare for the playoffs next month. Garland does not have any specific injury. The team decided to give him a rest night instead. This game is part of a challenging road trip for the Cavaliers, who are playing five games in five different cities. Coach Kenny Atkinson emphasized the importance of being healthy as the season progresses. He mentioned that they aim to have the players in great shape for the playoffs. Garland, who has had a tough stretch since the All-Star break in mid-February, has struggled with his shooting. He shot only 6 of 14 in the previous game, marking a pattern of underperforming in recent outings. This will be Garland's fifth game missed this season. Atkinson aims to balance resting players while ensuring they play well as the playoffs approach.
