Kevin Love will be a game-time decision Thursday vs. Heat

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love wasn't expected to miss any time after suffering a back injury in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers, but his head coach said he's not a lock to play the team's next game.

Love will be a game-time decision Thursday against the Miami Heat, David Blatt said Wednesday.

He has been bothered by back issues all season, missing five games.

Love is averaging 16.5 points and 10 rebounds in his first season with the Cavaliers.
