Kevin Love just can’t catch a break when it comes to staying healthy this season. The Cleveland Cavaliers star big man reportedly has a lower back contusion, after going down hard in Cleveland’s last game, a narrow loss to the Dallas Mavericks, according to the Akron Beacon Journal’s Marla Ridenour (h/t a RotoWire Staff report).
As a result, Love, per Ridenour, is questionable for tonight’s game against the Detroit Pistons.
This has to be tough news for Cavs head coach Larry Drew, because Love’s inside-out scoring presence has given Cleveland’s offense a completely different look since the All-Star break.
