Things just got a lot worse for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Forward Kevin Love is likely to miss more than a month with a left toe injury, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The pain is apparently so intense, coupled with an 0-6 start to the season, that the Cavs are being extra cautious with their greatest asset.

This is yet another lengthy injury for fantasy owners to deal with in season-long leagues. With Love out, this looks like the beginning of the impending Cavaliers 2018-19 tank.

A firm timetable on Kevin Love's return from injury is not expected before Monday or Tuesday but among the options Cleveland is considering, league sources say, is a longer-term period of rest for Love as his deals with persistent foot soreness

Love fantasy owners will have to stomach this most recent injury, there's simply no way around it. Hopefully, the rest of your team is loaded with the depth, because you'll certainly need it over these next month or so.

As a last-ditch effort, picking up Cavs teammate Larry Nance, Jr. off the waiver wire is likely your best-case scenario.
