Kevin Love has some dental work in his future.
In the first quarter of the Cavaliers game against the Heat on Tuesday night in Miami, the power forward was elbowed in the face and suffered a subluxation of his front tooth.
A post-injury, open-mouthed photo of Love immediately went viral on Twitter, and he was taken out of the game. He did not return.
For those of you who don't have your degrees in dentistry, a subluxation is defined as an injury to the tooth's supporting structures with abnormal loosening, but without tooth displacement. So it sounds like Love will likely keep his tooth.
The injury continues Love's recent string of bad luck, after he recently returned from a six week absence due to a non-displaced fracture in his left hand.
