Kevin Love is back in the NBA Finals.
It’s unknown if he’s back in Cleveland’s starting lineup, but he was cleared to play Friday night for Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors. He got a concussion in Game 2 of the series and missed Game 3 on Wednesday night.
He could come off the bench. Love’s last time as a reserve was April 14, 2010 for Minnesota against Detroit. He’s been a reserve 82 times in his career, and his teams were 24-58 in those games.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr says Love’s return will affect Golden State’s lineups at certain times, but that it won’t lead to major changes in how his team wants to play Friday night.
