OAKLAND, Calif.– Cavaliers forward Kevin Love will reportedly not be suspended for leaving the bench area during the waning seconds of overtime during Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Love left the bench briefly during the scuffle between Draymond Green and Tristan Thompson after Thompson had already been ejected for a flagrant 2 foul.
Chris Mannix of Yahoo Sports initially reported the news that Love would not be suspended for Sunday’s Game 2:
