INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — The Cavaliers are concerned about All-Star forward
Kevin Love’s injured left knee.
Love will miss Tuesday’s game at Minnesota — and possibly more games — with an
injury that will require him to get a second opinion. Love complained of
soreness and had swelling following Saturday’s 125-109 win over Denver and
underwent an MRI on Sunday. The defending NBA champions haven’t disclosed
results.
Following Monday’s practice, coach Tyronn Lue said he’s “definitely concerned”
about Love, who recently missed games with back spasms. Lue said he doesn’t know
if Love’s back and knee issues are related or if he’ll have to skip this
weekend’s All-Star game.
Love’s injury complicates things for the Cavs, who seem to have found a rhythm
following a 7-8 January. Cleveland has won five of six and leads the Eastern
Conference by 2+ games over Boston.
Love is averaging 20 points and 11.1 rebounds.
