CLEVELAND (AP) – Kevin Love doesn’t know when he’ll be able to help the struggling Cavaliers.
The All-Star forward said Tuesday night that he will miss at least several weeks with a painful left toe injury that has bothered him since the preseason and recently got so severe that he had trouble walking. He did not rule out surgery.
The 30-year-old had an MRI and visited Dr. Martin O’Malley at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. He’s been told to rest the injury, and there is no clear timetable when he’ll play again.
“I would like to get back obviously as soon as possible,” said Love, who has been wearing a walking boot on his left foot for the past few days. “I had high hopes for the season, I know it’s been off to a really rocky start, but the more I can be out there and help this team, the better. So I’m hoping to get out there as quickly as possible and hoping that it’s only two or three weeks.”

Kyrie Irving ran in an open gym with several high school players from his alma mater during the past few days, but in that setting he preferred to talk about teamwork instead of teams.
Irving has asked the Cleveland Cavaliers for a trade, with one source telling ZAGSBLOG it’s “inevitable” he will be dealt.
But Irving was focused only on playing with the high school guys during the open gym, not on his future whereabouts.
“No, there was absolutely no conversation about him going anywhere,” said Giorgi Bezhanishvili, a 6-foot-10 18-year-old native of the Republic of Georgia who recently transferred to The Patrick School in Hillside, N.J. “He didn’t want to talk about it. We just talked about regular basketball stuff and all that.
