INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love will not play in Tuesday's road game against the Milwaukee Bucks because of stiffness and swelling in his left knee.
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue also announced Monday that Love would be questionable Wednesday for the second half of Cleveland's home-and-home matchup with Milwaukee.
Love banged knees with Los Angeles Lakers forward Larry Nance Jr. in Cleveland's 119-108 win Saturday.
Love played through the collision, finishing with 27 points and a season-high 17 rebounds, but his knee kept him out of Monday's practice.
"He took a blow to the knee, knee-to-knee, and it swelled up on him, and it's kind of stiff," Lue said.
Love is averaging 22.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and a career-high 1.1 steals per game this season. Additionally, both his field goal percentage (46.8) and 3-point percentage (41.2) are the best he's shot the ball since the 2010-11 season.
Love has played in 24 of the Cavs' 25 games this season, sitting out a game last week in which Lue also kept out LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in a 93-85 loss to Memphis.
