Kevin Love in Concussion Protocol After Tooth Injury; Out for Cavaliers-Hornets
March 28, 2018
Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love will miss Wednesday night's road game against the Charlotte Hornets at Spectrum Center after being placed in the NBA concussion protocol.
The Cavs announced the status update after Love, who also suffered a front tooth subluxation, left Tuesday night's clash with the Miami Heat and didn't play in the second half.
His latest setback comes less than two weeks after he returned to the Cavaliers lineup. He missed 21 games with a broken left hand from late January through mid-March.

Love has averaged 17.7 points and 9.2 rebounds while shooting 40.8 percent from three-point range across 53 appearances this season.
