Kevin Love's left knee injury has the Cleveland Cavaliers concerned about the NBA All-Star forward, who will get a second opinion while his teammates are in Minnesota.
Love has been ruled out of Tuesday's (Wednesday AEDT) game against the Timberwolves, his former team, and there is a strong possibility he'll miss more time.
The Cavs host Indiana on Wednesday in their final game before the All-Star break.
Following training on Monday, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said he's anxious about Love's injury.
"Always concerned when guys are going down," Lue said.
"And we're already limited as it is. Definitely concerned, but gotta see how he feels. Just get evaluated tomorrow and see how he feels."
Lue said doesn't know if Love's knee injury is connected with his lower back ailment or if he'll play in the All-Star game.
Love, who is averaging 20 points and 11.1 rebounds for the defending NBA champions, is scheduled to play for the Eastern Conference in the All-Star game on Saturday at New Orleans.
The 28-year-old complained of soreness and had swelling following Saturday's (Sunday AEDT) win over Denver.
Channing Frye will start in Love's spot against the Timberwolves.
