FINAL UPDATE: Darius Garland is available, according to Chris Fedor of cleveland.com.   

#Cavs Darius Garland WILL PLAY tonight against Detroit, but Donovan Mitchell is OUT, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. That means it's once again Dean Wade going into the starting lineup, sources sayhttps://t.co/b2omW5zcT2

On Friday evening, the Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Detroit Pistons in Ohio.

For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as starting point guard Darius Garland is questionable.  

The 2022 All-Star also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play). 

Via Underdog NBA: "Darius Garland (neck) listed questionable for Friday."
