The injury bug has once again struck Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love as he sustained a partially torn ligament in his left thumb. But according to Love and the team, he is expected to be ready to play in Game 3.

ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports Love suffered the injury happened late in the game. However, X-rays of the injury came back negative and neither Love nor the team sounded particularly concerned about the injury:

Cavaliers forward Kevin Love suffered a partially torn ligament in his left thumb during Wednesday night's Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers, sources told ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

Despite the injury, head coach Tyronn Lue said Love will be "ready to go" for Game 3 on Friday in Indianapolis.

...

"I saw a replay too, and it didn't look good," Love said. "Hurt pretty bad. Initially, I told Ty afterward that I could have gone back in, but I think he liked the flow out there, and guys made big plays down the stretch.

"It's not going to feel great tomorrow, but throw some ice on it, tape it up and be ready to go."

Love, defending against the Pacers' Victor Oladipo, was injured when he reached to deflect a pass. The ball appeared to hit his thumb and bend it back. He immediately went to the bench with 3 minutes, 43 seconds left in the game.

Cavaliers medical personnel worked on Love's hand and taped it up. Although Cavs guard George Hill fouled out with 36.3 seconds remaining, Love did not return to the game.

Love missed six weeks earlier this season with a broken left hand. The Cavs' All-Star had 15 points and six rebounds in the Cavaliers' 100-97 Game 2 victory against the Indiana Pacers.

Game 3 of the series is Friday night in Indianapolis (7 ET, ESPN).

any torn ligament in a hand is not a good look -- and yea I can see how that would be easily re-injured. Coming off a broken hand - this is the last thing you need. One more hit on that spot and he prob breaks his thumb.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

You're a first ballot hall of famer and we really appreciate your decision to return to Cleveland for a few years. Whether we lose or win in the playoffs we'll always appreciate your basketball greatness. I don't want his streak to end but it's looking kinda shaky right now...

Unheard of accomplishments in the past 7 years. We may never see that kind of streak again.

Not to mention advanced stats, where Lebron
James had several of the best seasons of all-time
in that window.

And not to mention that Lebron had ANOTHER 7 season
Top 10 all time window LMAO

Bird

Bron

1x 2nd team

but now i have to harp on the fact that Bird retired with a career double double, and Bron's never done that in even a single year

so sure, Bron is a better defender, but Bird is the greatest rebounder ever at the position they shared. so have fun with that.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

>so sure, Bron is a better defender, but Bird is the greatest

Right, and Bird ever average 9 assists per game?

And Lebron is the greatest passer ever at the position THEY
shared.

And a faaaaaar better defender.

And faaaaaar better player for longer.


Ouch.


But to be honest: to shit on Lebron by comparing him
to what might be one of the most complete offensive
players in league history on a 7 year tear is...LOL.

Bird was an absolute god on the offensive end. And you
just pointed out that Lebron was just as good...on the
offensive end. In doing so, you highlighted that Bron
also was excellent DEFENSIVELY AND did what Bird did
offensively for longer.

LMAO

i was pointing out the difference between "unheard of" and "not unheard of" accomplishments

youre so far into la la land that YOU think its a diss. its quite obviously a compliment to be compared to Bird, but its shitting on BIRD to say that Bron has accomplishments "unheard of" over the last 3 years

go play somewhere bro. im done with this lmao

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I would "play" - but nobody in their right mind thinks Larry Bird > LeBron James. Not really worth debating.

>Still don’t want him on the Sixers though

The Sixers have LeBen and Embiid. and if he's the "Kobe" version of LeBron that means he's bringing at least one championship to Philly.

They'll need help to get through the bullshit that the Celtics are about to be though.

might be better off on the bench.

he will have a breakout game tho, probably in one of these next 2 games.

but overall he has been cold more often than not in the playoffs.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

you're a caricature of yourself at this point

They're still facts though.
