Kevin Love cleared to play in Game 4 vs Warriors

Kevin Love will be available to play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Warriors on Friday night

The Cleveland Cavaliers took Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night from the Golden State Warriors and they took it in dominant fashion. They also took it without the services of Kevin Love, who was not cleared to play after suffering a head injury in the Cavs’ Game 2 loss.

So, entering Game 4 on Friday night, of course everyone has been wondering whether or not Love will be available to contribute once again. Well, just a little over an hour until tip-off, we’re learning that he is indeed cleared to play in this one.

Now whether or not he starts remains to be seen. Earlier in the day on Friday head coach Tyronn Lue sort of hinted that Love could see some playing time, but it wouldn’t be in the starting lineup. Rather, he would be coming off the bench as he eases back into things.

Then, of course, there’s been the fact that Love hasn’t really been playing the best out of the Cavaliers, especially on the defensive side of the ball. And with the Cavaliers doing much better in that area on Wednesday without him, some are of the belief that he should maybe only be coming off the bench.

We’ll find out in a short time here, but Love has been cleared for Game 4.
