Cavs' Love leaves game with left shoulder injury
CLEVELAND — Cavaliers forward Kevin Love exited Cleveland’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers late in the first half on Wednesday with a left shoulder injury. He will not return, according to the team.
It is the same shoulder Love dislocated in the first round of the playoffs against the Boston Celtics, causing him to miss the remainder of Cleveland’s postseason run to the Finals.
A league source told ESPN.com that upon an initial examination, the Cavs do not believe Love will miss major time because of the injury. Wednesday is the Cavs’ last game before the All-Star break. Love, who was not selected to join LeBron James in Toronto, will have six days off to heal before Cleveland’s next practice after the break.
