Kevin Love lost 10 pounds due to food poisoning

Kevin Love is sick. No, not in the crazy, high-caliber sense but in a literal one, and it's not pretty.

The Cavaliers forward left Monday's game against the Pelicans midway through the fourth quarter after missing all seven of his 3-pointers. He didn't look right all game, knocking down just 5 of 19 shots. We now know why the big man wasn't himself.

Cavs coach Tyronn Lue told reporters following the 90-82 win that Love dropped 10 pounds in two days because of what the team is calling food poisoning. Love thinks he became ill after eating fish on the Cavs' flight home from Charlotte on New Year's Eve.
