“How in the world is Kevin Love the 3rd shortest player on Cleveland’s roster?!”: NBA Twitter stunned as the short-handed Cavaliers have a 6-foot-8 player as their 3rd shortest player

With over 7 Cleveland Cavaliers players sidelined with injuries or in the league’s health and safety protocols, Kevin Love is the 3rd shortest player on the current 15-man roster.

With the league’s new health and safety protocols, a majority of teams in the league have had to play games missing out on several players from their line-up. The Cleveland Cavaliers are just one of many who are having a rough time in dealing with COVID-19.

Currently placed 5th in the Eastern Conference with a solid 21-16 record, over the course of the season, the Cavs have had to play without Jarret Allen, Evan Mobley, Denzel Valentine, Issac Okoro, Lauri Markkanen, Kevin Love, and now Cedi Osman, Darius Garland, and newly acquired Rajon Rondo due to the league’s health and safety protocols.

And with the current 15-man roster available, a Twitter user disclosed that Love is Cleveland’s 3rd shortest player. In case you didn’t know, Kevin is listed at 6-foot-8.
