The Cleveland Cavaliers are stuck in a midseason funk and, according to reports, frustrations came to a head at a team meeting on Monday.
In a team meeting held prior to Monday's practice, Kevin Love was challenged by teammates, according to ESPN, for leaving Saturday's 148-124 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder early and missing Sunday's practice.
Love played only three minutes of the Cavs' humbling setback vs. the Thunder before leaving the game with an unspecified illness. Several players questioned the legitimacy of Love's illness, ESPN reported. Citing a source, Cleveland.com reported that Love wasn't the only player called out during the contentious team meeting. Cavs coach Tyronn Lue and general manager Koby Altman also were present at Monday's meeting, ESPN reported citing sources.
