Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love experienced dizziness after returning to play at the start of the second half of Sunday’s NBA Finals Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors.

He left the game with 9:54 left in the third quarter after the effects of a collision with Warriors forward Harrison Barnes late in the second quarter surfaced.

He was taken to the locker room for further examination and was placed in the NBA Concussion Protocol and did not return to the eventual 110-77 Warriors’ win.

Love did not exhibit any signs or symptoms prior to the third quarter, according to a team statement.

Love is questionable for Game 3, which is scheduled for Wednesday in Cleveland.
