According to US News, the people in attendance for Game 2's semifinals contest between the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers at the Quicken Loans Arena nearly received an arm sling instead of a towel as their free giveaway. The arm sling was meant to honor Kevin Love, who needed season-ending surgery after dislocating his left shoulder during Game 7 against the Boston Celtics in the first round.
At the last minute, with 20,000 arm slings with a sponsor's name on them in their possession, the Cavaliers decided to cancel the idea. The Cavs' spokesperson would not comment on why they opted against the giveaway.
Now, the Cavs need to figure out what they're going to do with all those slings. We'll take one (or a few) off your hands.
