Kevin Love has been placed in the NBA's concussion protocol and will miss Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Celtics.
The topic was discussed on TNT's "Inside the NBA" on Saturday, with Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley suggesting Advil could solve Love's situation:

O’Neal: “Ain’t nothing holding me from no Game 7. I’m going straight to Walgreens, getting some Advil. We gonna play."
Barkley: “And some Icy Hot! I’m with you on those things. I’m not missing a Game 7.”
The Cavaliers star exited Game 6 on Friday following a head-to-head collision with Celtics rookie Jayson Tatum.

Kenny Smith tried to reason with O'Neal and Barkley: "When you’re 60 and shaking then you’re going to be saying, ‘I should have sat out.'"
