It had been reported the Cavs were preparing for the possibility that their star forward could miss more than a month because of a toe injury, before the ailment was confirmed.
Love was said to have been limping after Cleveland’s loss to the high-flying Denver Nuggets.
“[Love] will now undergo an extended period of treatment and rehabilitation, with the timeline for his return to basketball activity updated in approximately six weeks,” a statement read.
Love signed a four-year contract extension worth $120million this offseason. He was averaging 19 points and 13.5 rebounds per game before getting hurt.
The 30-year-old’s injury is the latest blow to a team who are 1-7 and fired coach Tyronn Lue after their losing start.
