This is really good on Garland for doing something and helping his community in some way. Additionally, he and other Cavs — including Larry Nance Jr., Collin Sexton and Kevin Love — have posted black photos to Instagram as part of Blackout Tuesday.

Players around the league, such as Jaylen Brown, Trae Young and Dennis Smith Jr., have also participated in protests in the wake of Floyd’s death.
