CLEVELAND — Cavaliers center Kevin Love is out against the Philadelphia 76ers because of a sore left hip.

Love went through warmups Saturday before the decision to hold him out was made. He injured the hip Wednesday against Memphis, but played Friday against Indiana, scoring 20 points in 26 minutes.
