CLEVELAND: Kevin Love’s lousy 2017 just got a little worse. Love is out with a left knee injury and now it’s fair to wonder whether his All-Star appearance next weekend might be in jeopardy.
Love injured his left knee in Saturday’s win over the Denver Nuggets, the team announced Sunday, and he has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s game at the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team said Love had “soreness and effusion” after the game and that he was given an MRI Sunday at The Cleveland Clinic.
The team did not disclose the results of the MRI, but the Cavs said he will receive further treatment and evaluation over the next several days.
