Love was hit at the back of his head by Harrison Barnes’ elbow as Barnes tried to go for the rebound late in the second quarter.
Love was down on the floor for a few moments but continued playing after. The Cavaliers, according to the broadcast, said Love did not show any signs or symptoms of a concussion after the play and even at halftime.
But Love suddenly appeared to get dizzy in a play early in the third, and he went straight to the bench and into the locker room to get checked.
He finished with 5 points and 3 rebounds in over 20 minutes.
Head coach Tyronn Lue said Love, who reportedly did not speak to media and immediately left Oracle Arena, is on a day-to-day basis.
Defending champions Golden State Warriors went up 2-0, winning Game 2 by blowout, 110-77. The best-of-7 series now shifts to Cleveland for the next two games. – Rappler.com
