A surgeon will not need to slice his hand open, adjust this or that, and insert screws to fix a fracture. The break should heal on its own ... in approximately two months. While he’s on the mend, the Cavaliers will certainly miss his 17.9 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.
Love, however, may welcome a break from his team which, yet again, finds itself mired in disarray, dysfunction and decline.
Sadly, Phoenix Suns guard Isaiah Canaan did not experience the same good fortune as Love. In a game against the Dallas Mavericks, an awkward, hard landing snapped his ankle so thoroughly that when his body hit the hardwood, his leg was noticeably akimbo with his foot pointing in a direction nature did not intend.
