CLEVELAND: Kevin Love departed Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second quarter with lower back spasms and will not return. Love missed all four of his shots and finished with one point and eight rebounds.
Love has battled back issues since coming to Cleveland, but it has only forced him to miss one complete game this season. He also sat the second half of a game at Golden State earlier this month with back problems.
James Jones started the second half in his place.
