Kevin Love left Wednesday night’s Heat at Cavs game with an eye injury and did not return. He was having a solid night up until that point with 12 points and 6 boards. Love was accidentally poked in the eye by Mario Chalmers and has suffered a right corneal abrasion. He’ll travel to the team to Chicago for tonight’s game, but his status is uncertain. May make sense to hold him out until after the break.
Kevin Love suffered a right corneal abrasion in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ win Wednesday night, putting into question his status for Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bulls.
Love was struck in the right eye by Mario Chalmers in the third quarter of the Cavs’ 113-93 win over the Miami Heat and did not return to the game.
He was to travel with the team to Chicago on Wednesday night. The Cavs said Love’s injury would be re-evaluated Thursday and that they would update his status for that night’s game at that time.
“It was blurry for about 20, 30 minutes, but I was able to regain my vision and feel fine now,” Love said after the game. “So I’m just happy that we were able to sustain the lead and get the win.”
