What’s propelled San Antonio without Leonard?

Kevin Love is finalizing a buyout with the Cleveland Cavaliers, sources told Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Sources add that the Heat are expected to register interest for Love.

Love, who was recently removed from the team’s rotation, was currently in the final year of a 4-year, $120 million extension signed in 2018.

The Philadelphia 76ers know they have a tough task ahead of them against the Boston Celtics in the second round of the playoffs. But that task will be even tougher if Joel Embiid can’t play due a sprained right knee.

Sixers coach Doc Rivers gave an update on Embiid’s inactivity at Saturday’s practice before casting doubt on the potential MVP’s availability for Game 1 on Monday.

“There is no latest,” Rivers said. “Obviously, the doctors looked at him, and he didn’t do anything today.

“I’ll say this, but if I was a betting man, I would probably say doubtful for at least Game 1. But we’ll see.”

Embiid missed Game 4 of the 76ers sweep of the Brooklyn Nets in the first round. That would give him 11 days off before facing the Celtics in Game 1. However, recovery times from a sprained LCL can vary greatly, and the Sixers haven’t said what grade of sprain Embiid is dealing with.
