Re: Kevin Love: The average time lost for thumb fractures that don’t require surgery is roughly nine games (~ three weeks). There have been examples of players playing through the injury, including Avery Bradley in 2015. The involved bone can influence recovery. – 4:25 PM

More on this storyline
Danny Cunningham: #Cavs Kevin Love mentioned that the team has had a number of “healthy conversations” over the last couple of days as the team is on a five-game losing streak. Added the team needs to get back to being one of the top defenses in the league again. -via Twitter @RealDCunningham / November 18, 2022
Chris Fedor: #Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff admitted postgame that he knew how close Kevin Love was to a triple-double. The two had a conversation about keeping Love on the court a little longer but Love told him to do right by the game and take him out to give the other guys a chance. -via Twitter @ChrisFedor / November 5, 2022
“We have a rare level of togetherness,” Love told cleveland.com. “No team is more together than we are. We thrive off that and that’s become part of our identity and part of our culture. I don’t feel like anybody in this locker room is up in arms about the next guy getting minutes, getting more shots, getting this or getting that. We all work to earn what we get and what we have. There’s a lot of love and respect in this room. A sense of professionalism here as well.” -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / November 5, 2022
