Kevin Love will not return for Cavs on Friday night
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love will not return to Game 6 as he is being evaluated for a concussion.
What It Means:
Love and Jayson Tatum accidentally bumped heads midway through the first quarter. Tatum was able to stay in the game, but Love fell to the floor and was noticeably affected. This is obviously a huge loss for Cleveland. Jeff Green will likely soak up more minutes in the second half.
Love is averaging 14.8 points and 10.4 rebounds this postseason. The Cavs are 13-13 this season when Love plays fewer than 10 minutes in a game.
