The Cleveland Cavaliers arguably have been through the most drama out of any NBA team this season. But despite their issues, they still managed to get two players voted into the 2018 NBA All-Star Game. Unfortunately for them, Kevin Love will miss his second All-Star contest as a member of the Cavs and he is also expected to be out 6-8 weeks after suffering a broken hand on Tuesday night.
Following comes from Dave McMenamin and Brian Windhorst of ESPN.
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.

Love had a knee procedure in 2017 that forced him to miss the NBA All-Star Game. Love also was sidelined for the 2016 NBA Finals after suffering a shoulder injury in the first round of the playoffs.
This will also be the third member of Team LeBron to miss the NBA All-Star game in the last week. DeMarcus Cousins suffered a ruptured Achilles over the weekend and John Wall underwent a knee procedure that will sideline him for 6-8 weeks.
