In the first quarter of Friday night’s Eastern Conference Finals Game 6 between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, Kevin Love and Jayson Tatum banged their heads hard, leaving Love laying on the ground in pain.
Both players were hurt, but Love appeared to take the brunt of the blow. Cleveland had to immediately foul Boston to stop the clock so Love could be attended to by team trainers.

No foul was called on the play on Tatum, who ran straight into Love.
Thankfully he ended up being able to walk off the court and onto the bench under his own power. However, as a precautionary measure, likely to test for a concussion, Love went back into the locker room shortly afterward.
