Kevin Love shoulder DISLOCATED *Update: Out remainder of the Playoffs After Shoulder Surgery

[G-Zeus]

UPDATE:

Cavaliers forward Kevin Love will miss at least the team's next playoff series with a dislocated left shoulder, a damaging blow to Cleveland's NBA title hopes.

Love was hurt in the first quarter of Sunday's win over Boston as the Cavs completed a first-round series sweep. He got his left arm locked with Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk while chasing a loose ball. Olynyk yanked down on Love's arm and his shoulder popped out of its socket joint.

The Cavs said Love sustained a torn ligament and bruising. He is seeking additional medical opinions.

Cleveland acquired Love in a blockbuster trade last summer with Minnesota, teaming him with All-Stars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving to give the Cavs a "Big 3" capable of winning a championship.

In his first postseason as a pro, Love is averaging 14.3 points and seven rebounds. Love made six 3-pointers in Cleveland's Game 3 win.

You see why we need these 1st round series to be best of 5? This series been decided for a while but just to "complete" it the better team runs the risk of losing one of their key players because of the owners greed.

Love got tangled up with Kelly Olynyk chasing a rebound and immediately clutched his left shoulder and sprinted to locker room #cavaliers

opposers will argue it was an uncommon freak accident (which it was), but i agree. if someone's gonna go down to injury the best we can hope for was that it wasn't for nothing.

but players going down in pointless regular season games - and this case a pointless playoff game - really sux.
