Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (dislocated left shoulder) will miss the team's Eastern Conference semifinals series against either the Chicago Bulls or Milwaukee Bucks, the team announced on Monday.

Love sustained the injury on Sunday during Game 4 of Cleveland's series-closing victory against the Boston Celtics. Boston's Kelly Olynyk grabbed and had Love's arm locked after a missed shot.
