Kevin Love is expected to miss more than a month with an injured toe in his left foot.

The Cavaliers and Love are consulting with doctors early this week to consider the limited short-term solutions available.

Love signed a new four-year, $120 million contract this past summer.

Love has missed Cleveland's last two losses.

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been placed in the NBA’s concussion protocol and will not play in Monday's game vs. Toronto.

Antetokounmpo sustained a blow to the head in Saturday night’s win over Orlando. Bucks team physicians followed league protocols and consulted the league’s neurologist during the evaluation periods. Antetokounmpo passed his neurological tests that created significant doubt that it was a concussion and he was allowed to return to play.

Antetokounmpo was evaluated again on Sunday and reported new symptoms along with a lingering headache. For that reason, he was placed into the concussion protocol and will miss tonight’s game vs. Toronto.

James Harden will likely miss at least the next two games with a grade 1-plus strain of his left hamstring.

Harden did not practice Thursday and underwent an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.

"It's nothing serious, nothing serious," said Harden, who walked out of the Toyota Center without a noticeable limp. "It's nothing close to last year. Just being cautious." 


Luke Kennard likely sustained a right shoulder separation. Kennard will undergo an MRI to confirm the injury.

Kennard suffered the injury after running into a screen set by Tristan Thompson.

In 73 games last season (nine starts), he averaged 7.6 points and 2.4 rebounds.

Bobby Portis sustained a moderate sprain of the MCL of his right knee during the game vs. the Charlotte Hornets on Oct. 24.

The Bulls estimate Portis will be out for four-to-six weeks.

Kris Dunn will be out four to six weeks with a moderate sprain of his MCL.

Fred Hoiberg said he didn't yet know who would start for Dunn, since he had just learned about the injury.

"It's tough," he said. "We obviously missed Kris in our first two games. Now to have him out of the lineup for an extended period, it's extremely difficult. When you have a guy who is out there and really made strides over the course of last season and the summer he had and the way he played during training camp, it's difficult to miss him."

Dunn is in his third NBA season.

Treveon Graham has suffered a torn left hamstring and is expected to be out for two months.

Graham signed a two-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets at the veteran's minimum.

DeMarcus Cousins is continuing to make "good progress" in his rehab from a torn left Achilles tendon.

Cousins suffered the injury on Jan. 26.

"I think he'll be more involved in practice," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "He's been doing a lot of individual work most of the young season. He has not participated in most of our practices. He's done work in the weight room, the training room, on the floor before practice, so I think we're going to start seeing him involved in more of our team activities.

"Five-on-0, ballhandling, skill work, and then if we do scrimmage which is very rare, if we do it's usually with the young guys who don't play a lot, he'll probably join those scrimmages."

The Warriors have yet to release a public target date for Cousins to return.

Kerr was asked if Cousins is exceeding expectations in his rehab.

"We're not going down that path," Kerr said with a smile. "He's doing fine, he's doing well."

Will Barton has been diagnosed with a right hip and core strain and will be out for an undetermined amount of time.

Barton was carted off the floor during Saturday's game.

Barton will undergo surgery and be out five to six weeks.

Jontay Porter will miss the entire upcoming season after tearing his ACL and MCL on Sunday.

Porter suffered the injuries during a scrimmage on Sunday against Southern Illinois.

Porter was expected to be a mid-first round pick in 2019. Porter tested the draft waters last spring.

Knee problems have been an issue for the Porter siblings in recent years. Bri Porter, Jontay and Michael's sister, retired from basketball before last season at Missouri after suffering her fifth ACL tear.
