Love was injured when he got tangled up with Boston Celtics
forward Kelly Olynyk in Game Four of Cleveland's first-round
playoff series sweep on Sunday.
In a statement, Cleveland projected Love's recovery time at
between four and six months, which means he should be ready for
the start of next season.
But if the Cavs are to win this season's NBA championship, they
will have to do it without one of their key players.
Love averaged 16.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists during
the regular season.
The LeBron James-led team will face either Chicago or Milwaukee
in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
