The Cleveland Cavaliers have ruled star guard Darius Garland out for Game 3 against the Miami Heat on Saturday.

Garland re-aggravated a toe injury in Cleveland's Game 2 victory earlier this week. Cleveland's medical staff was hoping that Garland would be able to workout in pregame warmups in an attempt to play, but he was unable to warm-up due to the injury.

Cleveland is hoping with the rest day on Saturday and Sunday, that he may be able to go in Game 4 on Monday, which could be a closeout game in the series if the Cavaliers win in Saturday's Game 3.

Garland has averaged 20.6 points and 6.7 assists on 47.2% shooting in 75 regular season games this season. In the Eastern Conference first round series against the Heat, Garland is 16-of-31 from the floor, and is averaging 24.0 points and 7.0 assists in the first two games of the series.

"Atomic Habits" by James Clear stands as a transformative guide to personal development through the power of incremental change.  Clear masterfully distills complex behavioral science into an accessible framework that revolutionizes how we understand habit formation and sustainable self-improvement. The book's central premise—that tiny changes yield remarkable results when compounded over time—is elegantly supported by both scientific research and compelling real-world examples.  Clear introduces the concept of the 1% improvement principle, demonstrating how small, consistent actions create exponential growth in both personal and professional domains.

The Evolution and Significance of Pride Month Apparel Pride Month in June has evolved from commemorating the 1969 Stonewall riots into a global celebration of LGBTQ+ identity, resilience, and community.  At the heart of this vibrant celebration is the iconic Pride T-shirt—a garment that transcends mere fashion to become a powerful symbol of visibility, solidarity, and self-expression. The Historical Roots of Pride Apparel Gilbert Baker's 1978 design of the rainbow flag provided the first cohesive visual identity for the LGBTQ+ community.  This iconic symbol quickly found its way onto clothing, allowing individuals to carry the message of pride and diversity wherever they went.  Early Pride T-shirts were often handmade or produced in small batches by community organizations, featuring simple rainbow designs or bold slogans demanding equality. As the movement for LGBTQ+ rights gained momentum through the 1980s and 1990s, Pride apparel evolved from underground statement piec...
