CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cavaliers All-Star forward Kevin Love is in the NBA's concussion protocol after being elbowed in the face.
Love was struck by Miami's Jordan Mickey early in Tuesday's game at Miami. He briefly returned to the floor, but experienced concussion-like symptoms at halftime. The Cavs said he will miss Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets and his status will be updated when appropriate.
Love, who also missed a game in the 2016 Finals with a concussion, damaged a front tooth in the collision with Mickey.
