"I thought it was a bush-league play," Love told reporters. "I have no doubt in my mind that he did it on purpose.

[daily_cut.NBA]"That's just not a basketball play. The league will take a look at it and it better be swift and just."

The Cavaliers said Love would travel back to Cleveland with the team on Sunday and receive "additional examination, imaging and evaluation" at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health over the next 24 hours.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reports Love is "likely out a minimum of two weeks."
