Kevin Love will not play vs. Pelicans

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love will not play in Saturday night's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Love was forced out of Friday night's matchup between the two clubs after suffering a left thigh bruise.

The UCLA product is averaging 15.9 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists, while shooting 42.3 percent from the floor, and 36.8 percent from deep.

With Love sitting, Timofey Mozgov and Tristan Thompson will man the frontcourt for Cleveland.

After dropping their last two games, the Cavaliers will attempt to avoid matching their longest losing streak of the season at the Quicken Loans Arena tonight.
