Breaking: Kevin Love Out 6 Weeks Following Knee Surgery

The Cavs got no Love this Valentine’s Day.

Kevin Love will miss the next six weeks of action for the Cleveland Cavaliers following arthroscopic surgery on his left knee the team announced today.

Love, who had an MRI on the knee after he experienced soreness and swelling following the Cavs 125-109 win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, reportedly had a “loose body” removed from the knee during the procedure performed in New York City this morning performed by Dr. David Altchek.

The forward, who had been averaging 20 points and 11.1 rebounds per game this season, had been selected to his fourth All Star Game (his first as a Cav) but will unfortunately not be able to participate. This setback was the latest in a series of nagging physical ailments for Love this season, which have also included back spasms and a bout with food poisoning.

Tyronn Lue has named Channing Frye the starter in Love’s place for tonight’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but no word yet on whether that will be an ongoing change.
