Love didn’t anticipate any issues with the concussion exam, which is required by the league before a player is cleared to play. He does not expect to make the trip to Detroit for their game against the Pistons on Thursday, but holds out hope he could be back for the Warriors on Sunday.
Love is averaging 26 points and 13.3 rebounds per game.
