Cavaliers star forward Kevin Love is sick and will miss Friday night's game against Orlando.
Love has been ill the past two days and Cleveland coach John Beilein is hoping another day's rest will help his best player recover.
Beilein said Love could rejoin the team in time for Saturday night's game at Philadelphia.
