Kevin Love gets food poisoning, loses 10 pounds in past few days.
Following the Cavs’ 90-86 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue revealed his team is also dealing with the flu.
“When I got the call from [Cavs head athletic trainer] Steve [Spiro], he said [Love] had lost 10 pounds and he was throwing up and whatever else I can’t say,” Lue said.
Love still contributed a double-double — 12 points and 11 rebounds, albeit on 5-for-19 shooting — in 24 minutes to help the depleted Cavs to the win.
Channing Frye and LeBron James were also under the weather, according to Lue.
