Cavs sit Irving, Love vs. Bulls
The Cleveland Cavaliers are without two members of their Big Three on Wednesday night.
Kyrie Irving is dealing with a hamstring injury, Kevin Love is recovering from a bout of food poisoning that's apparently seen him drop 10 pounds, and both will be out of the lineup against the Chicago Bulls.
Love played through the illness against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, but struggled to the tune of 5-of-19 shooting and 0-of-7 from 3-point range. Irving has sat out the past two games.
LeBron James is also dealing with an illness but played though it, making this the first time since the 2015 Finals that he's played a game without either Irving or Love.
Mike Dunleavy, who's missed the past two games with an ankle injury, returned to action against his former team.
