Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue told reporters that All-Star forward Kevin Love remains in the concussion protocol and he's "not sure" if he'll be available for Game 1 of The Finals, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin.

Love sustained the concussion during the first quarter of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics, after colliding with Jayson Tatum.

The Cavaliers will need all the scoring they can get to have a shot at dethroning the Golden State Warriors. Love's postseason contributions of 13.9 points and 10 rebounds per game will be vital in relieving the pressure on LeBron James.
