Like James, he sat out the fourth quarter.
James came in leading the roster in points (26.1), assists (8.8) and field goal percentage (54 percent) among a bevy of other categories. “That is why you get a lopsided game”. “We are a team that is capable of doing that”. He has not played since February 11, missing the Cavs’ last 13 games. Love will likely return in one of those games.
Originally drafted out of Virginia Commonwealth as the 15th overall pick by Milwaukee in the 2010 NBA Draft, Sanders went on to play in 233 games (113 starts) for the Bucks.
According to ESPN, Love was already given clearance to participate in contact drills and he already joined a three-on-three scrimmage Tuesday.
“He did that to mess with y’all”, Cavs cach Tyronn Lue Lue told reporters Tuesday. We’ve said that for two years. “I just really wanted to block a shot”.
“But it looks like he wants another opportunity and hopefully if we’re the team, hopefully we give him an opportunity”.
CLEVELAND-More help is on the way for the Cavaliers. Not counting Tuesday’s contest against the Detroit Pistons, the Cavaliers have 16 games remaining on the schedule. “I do what master say”.
“They know this doesn’t complete us”, he said of the rest of the players.
Injuries have troubled the Cavs in the past few years and Love is among the victims.
For the first time in an National Basketball Association season, three players have registered at least 10 triple-doubles in the one campaign, with James Harden and Russell Westbrook also having passed the mark. Last week, starting shooting guard J. R. Smith returned to the lineup after thumb surgery. “And I’m truly thankful for the Cavs and LeBron [James] for believing in me and giving me this chance”. A March 31 return, which is a little beyond six weeks, would give Love eight games to get back into a rhythm and game shape before the playoffs. Sanders has averaged just under two blocks a game in his career, he can provide a definite boost for what is now Cleveland’s biggest weakness.
