Myles Garrett BENCHED on Sunday by Kevin Stefanski to start the game, but why?

Kevin Stefanski proved on Saturday that he won’t play favorites, or did he prove anything at all?

He benched Myles Garrett for the first drive of the Browns’ 17-10 loss to the Saints on Saturday for a disciplinary reason, stating “that was just a team thing. That was my decision.”

Garrett played 36 of a possible 54 snaps (67 percent) — a season low in snaps and second-lowest percentage in 14 games played — and finished with three tackles. The Browns did not elaborate on what team protocol was violated. The star edge rusher was on the field for the Saints’ second possession.

Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant scored 32 points apiece and the Nets extended their longest winning streak since moving to Brooklyn to nine games with a 125-117 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night.

The Nets withstood a sensational 46-point performance by Darius Garland, who single-handedly brought the Cavs back in the fourth.
Garland finished 14 of 20 from the field and added eight assists with just one turnover in 40 minutes to lead the Cavs, who dropped their second straight and are 16-4 at home.

Donovan Mitchell added just 15 points — 13 below his average — on 5 of 16 shooting while being guarded primarily by Brooklyn’s Ben Simmons.
