Garland (toe) will miss Friday's game against the Spurs.
Friday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Garland will take his standard maintenance day, which will result in more minutes for Craig Porter and Lonzo Ball. While Garland will skip Friday's game, he should be back in action Saturday night against the Warriors.

Rotowire
Garland (toe) amassed 20 points (5-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven assists and two rebounds across 27 minutes during Friday's 120-109 victory over the Pacers.
