Kevin Love injured his hand in the opening quarter of the Cavaliers’ game against the Pistons on Tuesday night. It’s tough to tell exactly what went wrong, but he seemed to be in serious pain.

Love went to the locker room, and was x-rayed. That revealed that he had a non-displaced fracture in his left hand, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Love will miss six-to-eight weeks.
