Kevin Love's shoulder injury is definitely a huge blow for Cleveland Cavaliers which is now 1-1 with Chicago Bulls in the second round of the playoffs. Cavs slightly lost their homecourt advantage and it is hard to deny Love's absence is not a factor.
The show must go on for Lebron James and others. Despite the Kevin Love shoulder injury, they need to move on. For Kevin Love himself, he too is moving on. In fact, he is already over it, meaning the incident between him and Boston Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk who gave him that season-ending injury is already behind him.
"Oh yeah. I'm over it," Love said in a report by Cleveland.com. "I'm just trying to get healthy. All I'm focused on is getting healthy right now."
While Kevin Love is focused in getting healthier again after that shoulder injury, what he cannot accept is the apology from Olynyk. Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reported the Canadian 2013 draft pick has expressed interest to personally apologize to the Cavs forward.
"Boston Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk and his representatives have continued to deliver word to Love and people close to him that Olynyk wants to privately apologize to him, sources told Yahoo Sports. Olynyk wants to tell Love personally that he never intended to injure him in Game 4 of that series, that he's sorry for the shoulder surgery that'll cost Love six months."
However, Love is not interested about it.
"Strangely, Love continues to rebuff Olynyk. He isn't interested in the call, refusing to ease Olynyk's guilt. For now, Love is a spectator to this Cavaliers playoff run, a player who is probably more missed on these Cavaliers now than he had ever been appreciated this season."
Two weeks after his shoulder injury, Kevin Love appeared at the Quicken Loans Arena for the Cavs' Game 2 vs Chicago Bulls. Lebron James says Love's presence is great.
"Just having Kevin back, just seeing his face," James said. "Obviously we know he's down about the injury, but you couldn't tell by today. He was happy to be back. He had a great response from the fans. They love him here and it was great to have him around today for sure."
