Cavaliers’ Kevin Love Reinjures Same Left Shoulder Hurt In Playoffs (Video)

Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Kevin Love injured his left shoulder.

The Cleveland Cavaliers big man appeared to suffer the injury during Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers while being guarded by Kobe Bryant. It’s the same shoulder he injured during the 2015 NBA playoffs against the Boston Celtics.

Kevin Love will not return. #Cavs are just calling it a left shoulder injury.

There might be some good news, though.

Per coach Ty Lue, who told ESPN, Kevin Love has a stinger after he left with left shoulder injury. @cavs

A stinger hurts, but it’s much better than another separated shoulder. Love and the Cavs can only hope that’s all it is.
