As the Cleveland Cavaliers gear up for a playoff run, they’ve been hit by the injury bug.
Kyrie Irving missed the last three games with a hamstring injury. Kevin Love missed last night’s contest against the Chicago Bulls with food poisoning. LeBron James has the flu.
The team is also without J.R. Smith, their best catch-and-shoot threat outside of Channing Frye, for about three more months. Unfortunately, after also missing training camp and the preseason while holding out for a better contract, expectations for Cleveland’s favorite son should be tempered when he returns.
