The Cleveland Cavaliers announced Tuesday morning they will be without All-Star forward Kevin Love for more than a month.

The power forward had arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body from his left knee according to a team release.

Love is expected to be out about six weeks.

He is averaging 20.0 points and 11.1 rebounds per game for the defending NBA champions, who lead the Eastern Conference by two games over the Boston Celtics.
