Because the Cavaliers weren’t already in severe disarray, they will now be without All-Star forward Kevin Love for a quite a while after he suffered a broken hand during Tuesday night’s game against the Pistons.

ESPN’s Dave McMenamin tweeted specifics of the hand injury while Brian Windhorst speculated on the amount of time Love will miss:
The X-ray on Kevin Love's left hand revealed a non-displaced fracture in his left hand fifth metacarpal. Love will not return to play tonight. His status will be updated after additional examination and consultation tomorrow in Cleveland, per the Cavs.
