Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum and Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love were both shaken up after they accidentally banged heads in the first quarter of Game 6.

Love stayed down and called for a trainer while the play continued, and eventually headed to the locker room. Tatum remained in the game.

Love was evaluated for a concussion and was ruled out of the remainder of Game 6 by halftime, according to Allie Clifton of Fox Sports Ohio.

Love has suffered two concussions since 2016, with the most recent one coming in late March. He's averaging 15 points and 11 rebounds in the series as Cleveland's second-leading scorer behind James.
