The Cleveland Cavaliers have ruled center Kevin Love out for the Eastern Conference semifinals, according to the team.

Love was injured in the first quarter of Cleveland's 101-93 victory Sunday when his arm became entangled with Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk's arm. Love ran off the court grabbing his shoulder and did not return to the game. 

An MRI revealed Love's shoulder was dislocated in the incident. Love called the play "bush-league."

Cleveland, which swept the Celtics in four games in their first-round playoff series, will play the winner of the Chicago Bulls-Milwaukee Bucks series in the semifinal round.
