Love leaves game after suffering apparent left thumb injury vs. Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love appeared to injure his left thumb during the fourth quarter of Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

With just under four minutes remaining in regulation, Love looked as if he jammed his thumb while swiping for the basketball. He came up clutching his hand, and immediately went to the bench to be examined by Cavs trainers. He did not return.

Love missed two months this season with a fracture in his left hand. He finished Game 2 as the Cavs' second-leading scorer and rebounder with 15 points and eight boards. He's averaged 12 points and 12.5 rebounds while shooting 5-of-12 from 3-point range through the first two games of the series.
